What I have learned in SoK

Setting up development environment.
How to work/build with CMake.
Getting used to frameworks like QT working on C++
How sink actually functions.
How to be good at research and resolving development issues.
How to debug using gdb.
Understood the add, delete and modify contacts functionalities of plasma-phonebook.
Understood the relation between Plasma-Phonebook, kpeople, kpeople-sink.

What Next?

I am going to continue to work on this project to make the edit contact functionality work properly while editing multiple contacts in Plasma-Phonebook. Still looking out for the major issue behind this. Also I'm enjoying every bit of it and learning a lot of new things. So yeah, this is one hell of an experience.
