It is not necessary to know much about Qt for this project, but you
should have a good knowledge of using C++ and at least one C++ API such
as Qt, Boost or something similar.

You should be able to read through the resip/dum/test/* files in the
reSIProcate repository and understand the C++ code and learn the API
from those examples.

The projects do not use the Qt graphics APIs, only the low-level parts
of Qt for things like application lifecycle, configuration and logging.

Please make sure you complete the application form in the Google GSoC
system before the deadline tomorrow.

Daniel
