How many tests are you going to add? You wrote "most of the commands listed in the manual" - what does that mean? Which commands? Why? 2. What does "a method to find lines in the debuggers" mean? I don't understand the 2nd clause in the "Inch-stones". 3. Which lines? What does it mean "add tests for [...] lines"? 4. The schedule is rough. Perhaps creating a broader schedule would allow you to take your time, but still provide a time-frame for TPF to estimate your progress? 5. The "Completeness Criteria" does not include the criteria for completeness. It just means it will be available for review and merge (which is good!), but perhaps you actually want to write down how to know when you're done - what you consider "completeness". 6. The amount seems high considering you cannot divide it to a specific amount of hours to prove that it's worthwhile and not expensive. It sounds like a good grant proposal purpose, and I'd be happy to see it get done (test + refactoring = my love in life) but I don't know how much chance it has without having more specifics. Good luck!
