Thanks! Testing the views with fake data (during the initial stages) would be a good idea that would help me rapidly prototype the views.
In an earlier email (GSoC Tips), you told me that a basic functioning product (with the major features, tests & documentation) must be deployed before the first evaluation. Is the first evaluation the one from June 24-28?
