Take some time to reflect on the different parts required for the project, potential things that might interfere with the project etc. This would help you come up with a more refined plan. This might need some deeper understanding of the project that you would be working on. Do feel to ask us in case you face any issues with this. Also, you could use Taylor's suggestion as a possible starting point for the plan: > If you end up working on this, I would suggest budgeting a week or so > to try out a couple of different sub-projects, and then decide where > to spend your time from there. Hope this helps, Sivaraam
