> 2. Photo instant upload to Google+/Facebook/Dropbox for the wordpress

> QML or an integration of both. I plan to learn to get around their

> I am quite enthusiastic about app deployment in both BB10 OS and Ubuntu
> Mobile in HTML5. Something I will really look forward to for the summer.

> I am still getting a hang of your codebase and plan to submit a patch or
> fix a bug by this weekend.
> 
> Can you guide me to (potential) mentors for the above mentioned projects ?
