Hi Ishan, Feel free to share your proposal with the list when you're ready. This will give folks an idea of what you're thinking of and serve as a start to concretely define a GSoC project which would be manageable in the time you would have. I think SCD is an important feature and would help developers who use XSModel to navigate it more easily with fewer lines of application code, just like how XPath can reduce the complexity of navigating a DOM tree.
Thanks again for your interest in getting involved in the development.
