Sure but starting creating a page and put in it the design work you
already started for the GSOC proposal should not take very long. You
can improve it later.

It is technically separated since it's running in Android but will
still have to deal with XWiki model and REST API. Also if you never
worked with maven before you will need some time to learn how the
project build works and you should probably start by updating it with
the latest plugin versions etc.
