Hi Dimitris,
Since the applications are open now, was wondering if the last version I
sent you would be good to put in.
Also, I am not too sure about the weekly breakdown regarding the time-line
for implementing the project.
Would be great if you could please shed some light on it.
Thank You,
Shivani
