I added this to the project and allocated some time in the project
timeline for researching the available testing frameworks and choose
one to use in the project.

I have started on this project, but I haven't had time to finish it
yet. How should I send the code for review? Should I publish it on a
web site somewhere or upload it to some repository?

I have now submitted my proposal. I am aware that the submission
period is soon over, but if anyone has suggestions for improvements
during the day I would greatly appreciate any improvements that I
should make to the proposal.
