Gaurav,

Hopefully I can answer your GSOC application questions.

Assuming your project is accepted, it would be acceptable to integrate a 
third party API into the DSpace project, provided that their license 
policies are in line with DSpace's open source license, and would allow 
us to redistribute that API as part of out-of-the-box DSpace.

Both of these points do have some overlap. But there are differences.

Point 4, "how you propose to do it", would provide general details on 
the technologies or APIs that you are proposing to use.  It may also 
provide general details on which DSpace user interface(s) your project 
would work with, etc.  So, point #4 is more about what technologies you 
plan to use, and generally how you'd propose to implement your project.

Point 5 gives details on the proposed schedule/timeline for implementing 
your project.  For example, you may say that in the first few weeks your 
goal is to finish step #1, by week 3-4 you'd want to finish step #2, etc.

I hope this helps,

Tim
