You're familiar with WordNet? In what way? WordNet has been applied to
many different domains, and I'd like to see you expand on this a
little more.

I know it's early, but could you consider putting part of your
proposal in here? We can't help you with it if we haven't seen it.

Your timeline needs a lot of work. I've left some comments to help you
know how to improve the next version.

I'm afraid that's not acceptable. May 20th is the start date for
coding, all background learning should be completed by then.

This is not an activity, you're effectively saying '...stuff happens...'

Testing is an ongoing activity, you should aim to test from the start
of the project.

We haven't discussed how the projects will be developed, so there may
be some merging involved at the end, but committing is an ongoing
activity -- if your mentor hasn't seen work from you before the
midterm, how can you pass?

For the next draft of your timeline, you should keep in mind the GSoC
timeline (http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2012),
and try to break down your proposed activities by week. It may be
acceptable to submit a fortnightly schedule, if that's more realistic,
but a breakdown by month is just not informative enough.
