Sending this to the mailing list -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Manos, Thanks for the feedback on my previous draft. I have updated the proposal keeping in mind your suggestions. Would be great if you can go through it and give me your feedback. I have made the timeline to the best of my understanding. However, if you feel that it is a bit skewed with respect to the division of tasks, kindly let me know.
