We have a suggested template for proposals here: https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx/wiki/GSoC-Submission-Template. Also a uideline for writing successful proposals here: https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx/wiki/Hints-for-Successful-Proposals. You can also google around to find more suggestions from other organizations. Those usually apply just fine. The bottom line is that you want to convince us that you'll be able to deliver something nice and functioning in the end. That would include a description of what you propose to do, what alternatives you'd like to try, what is your proposed time line, etc. > 2.

Start discussing your idea either here on the mailing list or on the IRC channel (#ste||ar on freenode). > Last but not the least, as it's just 5 days left to submit a proposal, so > I would need a lot of your guidance to make a promising proposal.

Sure, you're not the only one being late, we're used to that. Just get things going we'll comment as you go.
