Re: GSoC 2013

Hi Michael,

I have submitted our project
proposal<https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/samuelqueiroz/17001>
.

I am looking forward to getting your feedback.

Just FYI, ASF provides a page <http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html> for
both students and prospective mentors. It contains information like
"Prospective mentors should join the code-awards@apache.org mailing list".

Sincerely,
Samuel Queiroz

Hi Samuel,

I've reviewed your proposal in Melange. Overall it looks really good.

I left you some feedback on things you can improve and a few questions.
