Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC'14 draft proposal - MIMO Transceiver

[Michael Dickens]

Hi Kunal - Following up from Martin's comments:

* You'll want to address some of the items listed on the GR GSoC Student wiki 
page < http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/GSoCStudentInfo > -- 
for example:

+ Will GSoC be your only job, or will you have other things you -must- be doing 
(classes?  paid work?  serious hobbies?)?

+ Are you on the GR discussion list (yes!)?  How long have you been on it?  How 
active have you been on it?

+ Are there periods you will know right now that you will not be available for 
working on GSoC?  If so, list them.

+ Are you planning to stay a contributing member of GR after the summer of code?

* I think your proposal has -most- (not all) of the basic content, but it is 
not organized in the way most other proposals are & hence you're selling 
yourself short in that regard.  You would be well off looking at a few other 
former winning proposals and modeling the organization of yours after one of 
those more than what you have right now.

* While you do not list milestones specifically, you do list a timetable with 
goals -- again, mostly organizational differences.

* Your grammar, spelling, formatting, and related stuff are fine -- this 
proposal is easy to follow and not painful to read.

* The technical side is mostly regurgitating facts about different MIMO 
techniques without equations or anything further.  It would be good to see a 
-brief- discussion of the algorithms, their complexity, and challenges/risks 
involved in implementing them.

* A link to some of your previous GR and/or other SDR oriented work is a must.

I encourage you to make the above changes, then get your proposal posted on 
Melange.  You can make changes to your proposal after you've posted it -- as 
Martin says (elsewhere): Just post a link in Melange to your proposal & then 
you have only 1 place to do the update.
