I don't know how to use the suggestion template, but Qt needs a unified approach to Notifications (Push on mobile, Desktop), if it is not already in the works.

> For students it's a good idea to start talking to people in areas you are

> but I imagine you should at least have pushed a change or two to Qt's 
> codereview and have some C++ knowledge (or willingness to learn), depending on 
> the task.
> http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Contribution_Guidelines will help you getting started.

> Check out KDE's guidelines, many things apply to Qt (both for students and 
> mentors):
> https://community.kde.org/GSoC
> 
> I'd like to invite everyone to join #qt-gsoc on freenode.
> Ask questions about procedure in #qt-gsoc, programming questions then in #qt-
> labs on IRC/freenode. This mailing list is also a good place to discuss about 
> potential work this summer.

> Right now the organization page for GSoC shows "The Qt Company", which is a 
> mistake we made when applying for the program. It of course should be the "Qt 
> Project".

> This is the first time we'll participate in GSoC, so I don't expect us to get 
> too many slots, we'll find out as we go, I do hope we'll have some great 
> applications and get interesting things into Qt.
