Yet another post for Desktop Client

[abhishek0]

Hello all.

This is Abhishek Sharma, pursuing my B-Tech from Indian Institute of Information Technology. I am aspiring fro GSOC 2010 and interested in developing the Desktop Client for DreamWidth.
I have a good knowledge of C, C++ and Qt as far as GUI development is concerned. I have also developed 2-3 websites previously of which 1 is officially used by an institute as their project site(Virtual Labs by DEI, USIC Department).
To be frank, without a mentor's assistance as of now, I am completely blank as to what exactly I have to achieve. In technical terms, I am awaiting some guidance in terms of GUI Design, the backend technologies to be incorporated (like MySQL etc.) and what is the density of the project.

I am willing to give my max effort my mentor asks me to do,I just need a bit guidance at the turns.

The beginning of the project is the first turn, and I gladly await the mentor's response.

Thank You.

Have you found anything useful in the wiki yet in terms of what's needed, or in the posts in dw_dev? There are a couple of existing clients mentioned there which might give you some ideas. If not, IRC is a good place to start, or ask me if you need more links.
