All,

   I am thankful to all the maintainers and mentors who believed that I am capable enough to contribute to GNU Octave for GSoC 2018. Thank you for accepting my proposal. I promise to meet the expected standards.

   To my assigned mentors, Douglas Stewart and Nicholas Jankowski, should we start the discussions about my project, A fast and accurate command line suggestion feature? What time and mode of communication would the two of you prefer? I am comfortable with both, the mailing list and the IRC channel. Other modes of communication such as personal emails, chat messengers such as WhatsApp, WeChat etc. are fine as well. As for the time of communication, I would be comfortable with any time during the summers (i.e. after 21st May), however, these days, the college is still open and so if a synchronized communication is required, I would prefer a time between 7:30am UTC and 8:30 pm UTC. Asynchronous communications will be possible at any time though.

    Looking forward to your reply.

Here are some ideas for you.

here is an example of a start of a time line etc.

I'd like to add that it's especially important to include in your timeline clear goals for the two midterm evaluations and final evaluation, since the evaluations the mentors will submit to Google will be based on how well you met your goals. Students need to talk with their mentors during the bonding period to make sure you agree on what the goals should be.
