Hi Mandar,

Thanks for your post and hard work so far. At my first read your
proposal looks like it's going in the right direction.

The mentor for this project is currently head-down working on the
latest CentOS 7 update and hasn't been able to respond. I've asked him
to take a few minutes in the next day to respond to all the questions
on this mailing list so far.

- From here you will want to make sure that you have your proposal in
the Melange tool ...

https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2015

... as we will want to have all the comments about your proposal
ultimately within that tool. We may need to move some discussion from
this mailing list to that tool during the proposal period.

Regards,

- - Karsten
