Sounds good. > Also, do I > keep in mind the distribution part, as I try out PoC implementations > for the project?

As long as you're doing proofs of concept you can do whatever you wish. The real project will have to include a distribution method, but what you do as exercises outside of the GSoC coding period is up to you. > > Another query is regarding my timeline in my proposal, which I had > submitted recently.

I would love to advise you more, and as a mentor I would do so with my student during the GSoC coding period, but right now we (the Amarok team) need to evaluate prospective students based on certain criteria - the ability to structure the project sequentially in manageable bits is one of those criteria. So right now I can only advise you to think hard about it and try to define the requirements that need to be fulfilled. > > Lastly, I wanted to know how much I should pursue sparql.

The SPARQL language and QtSparql would certainly be very important in this project as the preferred way of getting the data you wish to display. If you get selected, you'll have to learn it I guess.
