Description*

This is a detailed description of your proposal. Include as much detail as possible. The following questions should be answerable by anyone who reads this:

  • What is the problem this project tries to solve?
  • What is the scope of this project (how big or small is the effect?)
  • Who are the primary users and how will they benefit?
  • How is this solution better than other solutions (what we have now and how other projects solve the problem)
  • How will it effect other parts of KDE?

Related Work

References to related research or other projects that will back up your proposal.

  • If this is a list of links to publications, they should be referenced in the detailed description
  • Alternatively, this can be an annotated citation list (short 2-3 word summary of relevant conclusion of each paper), or a literature review summary itself (with relevant citations listed at the end)

Design

Discussion and details of the design of the proposal. This includes workflows, UI mockups, graphics, interface guidelines, interface proposals, usability testing and results, etc.
