Ah, the list is just a suggestion. For a proposal, you can use whatever topic you think is useful! > Moreover along with this I would also like to contribute to the > ftinspect demo program. Well, this is a different project, and I think it's not a good idea to combine them since they are unrelated. Two solutions: * You submit a second proposal for `ftinspect`. However, we have then to select between the two; in GSoC, you can't do both. * You contribute code to `ftinspect` just for fun. :-) Don't underestimate the necessary work and time of a GSoC project!
