Potentially, yeah. It doesn't really have to be part of the proposal in the first place from my point of view, but having a section about future work after the GSoC wouldn't hurt, either. > > > I think if permitted to start early, I can consolidate one more command within > > > the GSoC period. > > > > We cannot keep you from doing this, but please keep in mind that if we > > end up picking a different candidate for this project we would favor > > their work so that they can successfully finish GSoC.

We won't give you a strict time schedule of "you first do that and then do that". Only thing that I'd like to avoid is that you're basically already done before the project starts ;) I'd just define these additinoal subcommands as stretch goals and then it's fine. Patrick
