Dear Anuj,

Oh! I apologize my misunderstanding of the term "timeline".

Sorry for the confusion, I actually wanted to ask about the schedule that I 
have written in my proposal.
For example I have written that by 26th June I will finish the bitmap 
implementation. Although I'm sure
that it won't take more than 26 days but in case it takes more than that or 
less, then is it possible to tweak the schedule?

Yes, please change the schedule in that case. Please inform us if you find some 
difficulties which you need more time for the implementation.

Regards,
mpsuzuki

Please don't mind about the timezone difference, and please keep your best 
timezone.
Both of your mentors (I and Alexei) are living in different timezone,
and even if you could follow my timezone, it does not guarantee the 
minimization of
the delay in the communication (the mentors are not full-time worker for 
FreeType).

Does your computer have sufficient storage to install "Windows Subsystem for 
Linux" ?

I do have linux installed alongside windows (dual boot). But I mostly use Linux 
for testing cross platform applications or writing code specific to Linux.
It's just that I have used Visual Studio since I started programming and I am 
most comfortable with it. But if it is necessary I will switch to Linux.

  Do you use existing project file in the source tree? Or, do you use CMake?

Yes, I use cmake.

I mostly use Visual Studio on Windows 10 for development but if there is 
something else I should use, please let me know so that I can learn that in the 
meantime.

There are many FreeType developers working with Unix-like systems, so having an
access
to some GNU/Linux system (no need to stick to WSL. some virtual machine, some
separated
machine etc would work) would be good.

BTW, if your daily development is Visual Studio, how do you build FreeType on
your system?
Do you use existing project file in the source tree? Or, do you use CMake?

And is there a set of tools I should use. I mostly use Visual Studio on Windows 
10 for development but if there is something else I should use, please let me 
know so that I can learn that in the meantime.

Thanks,

Dear Anuj,

Should I call you Suzuki or Sir Suzuki ? Which do you prefer?

"Suzuki" is sufficient! Please don't mind about the honorifics, I'm not a native
(or good) English user :-).

I have a lot of questions and things to understand about the workflow, so can I 
ask them here only or is there a separate mailing list for that ?

I guess, other GSoC students might have similar questions in the early phase, so
please let's start here. When our discussion is sufficiently specific to the
distance fields, let's move to somewhere else. But, if you want to have some
non-public e-mail list (and non-public archive?), please let me know. I would
try to find something.

Thanks for the quick response.

So the most stable communication for me is still e-mail, or, the issues & 
discussions in github- (or gitlab- etc) systems. What is your favorite?
I don't really have a favorite yet, but I do like e-mail and since we are 
located in different time zones I think e-mail would be the best option.
