I've added a proposal template to the IIO project page. The template has a
timeline initial draft. You may check out the template and adapt/extend the
initial timeline from there.

Elaborating a good work plan is probably the hardest part of making a good
proposal and requires students to either study the provided material in the
project page or have some development experience (or both). The work schedule
doesn't need to describe everything in detail, but the more reasonable your plan
to achieve project goals is, the better it may convey you as a good candidate.

I'll review all proposals after they are submitted.

When time and energy allow, the sky is the limit. My estimation, though, is that
developing a driver for one part will be more than enough work for a GSoC.
Still, if you are excited about doing more for IIO, then sure, add that to your
proposal.
