Hello ! I have drafted a project-proposal for the idea that Russell laid out in his talk at DjangoCon '15. Here's the link to the draft:
https://gist.github.com/priyanshsaxena/4670cae3d03a7b77a16388601c018460 Looking forward to your suggestions on how best to improve this for a concrete GSoC '18 project-proposal.
