Anastasia, Thanks for the clarifications. I'll be writing the proposals for both the projects and leave it up to you to decide which one I should do :)
A few more questions: How much minimum time do you expect to be put into the project(daily, weekly)? Currently, I feel I can give 5 hours every day. Idk if that's appropriate. Although I am willing to put up to 7 hours if need be. Who will be the mentors for "Optimize Erase-Function Selection" and "Fix Endianness Issues"? I think they are Simon and Thomas respectively, but still just confirming. What happens if the project is not completed within 175 or 350 hours? Is it a strict deadline or flexible? Aarya.
