I will limit my input on this matter to KWord and the textshape related=20
classes here, as that is where my experience and my invested time lies.
There is still a lot of work in the core that I think is useful to do, but =
as=20
I mentioned the shared vision on this is essential as well as good=20
communication.  Those things that grow over time as people work together.

A GSoC student is per definition someone that is new to the project (as tha=
t=20
is our main goal for accepting students) and since the student works full=20
time and the mentor typically has a day job or even holidays its very hard =
to=20
share this common vision of code structures and intentions while the GSoC=20
runs.
So if you want to have a good chance of your contributions ending up in a=20
future KOffice release it will be a good idea to avoid working on the core=
=20
parts for your GSoC.

And it doesn't have to be an issue, really. There are really a million cool=
=20
projects you can do as plugins in KOffice.
Be creative :)
