Hi Harsh,
Thank you for your response !
Could you please check pairs from [1], build it, and analyse it.
Secondly, you are welcome to mentor in sok, but you should be aware of
pairs codebase and how it is implemented .
Porting pairs to Qt5 is not easy enough for sok students :) You should get
in touch with Aleix and Marco too for the same
For the documentation related to KDE, you can visit [2]
Hope this helps !
