GSoC 2016

[Ashish Gupta]

Hi!

I feel getting screen sharing to work should be interesting. Unfortunately,
I'm not a student anymore, and therefore cannot apply as a student for SoC
this year.

But, fwiw, I can look into it if we don't find a student or act as a
secondary mentor for this task in case we do.

Regards,
Ashish Gupta
