Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I saw it only after the proposal
edit deadline has passed.

I’ll start reading the paper.

>There are existing javascript IDEs such as Cloud 9 (source)
I am familiar with online IDEs. As I mentioned briefly in the
proposal, I was involved in initializing such a project called ‘gadget
ide’ [1] at WSO2. It is a graph based IDE aimed at dashboard authoring
via specifying data flows, which is a fairly large project (8000+
JavaScript SLOC).

> If you do go for a full-blown IDE, I suggest you do it as a stretch goal
Of cause, I am planning to be more focused on the visualization of
commands. I have mentioned the IDE, only as a possible future
extension. I didn’t include it in the project timeline, but if time
allows I am happy to attempt it. But as you have mentioned, the
visualization part itself is considerably large project.

>I would encourage you to re-scope your proposal
I was expecting EXPLAIN to be the major problem. I wasn’t anticipating
ILLUSTRATE to be hard command to visualize. If so, I’d like to
re-scope the project as you have suggested. How about completing the
ILLUSTRATE before the mid evaluation, and pushing down the plan
visualize to second phase? Will that allocation be enough? I may have
to cut back a little on the interactive features of the graphs. Please
provide your suggestions on this matter.

I am aware that the team is busy with 0.10, so thanks for taking time
to provide feedback.
