Here's a link to my proposal that I missed out in my last email. :)

 Hi Ryan,

 Thanks for the advice, I've just submitted the first draft of my proposal.
 Let me know if there's any areas that I need to go into more detail.

 Cheers,

 Hi Rowan,

 Part of the reason we encourage you to pick up an easy bug and solve it
 is to get you reading through the code. We expect your proposal to have a
 fair number of implementation details or at least a rough implementation
 plan. In order to do this, it is super helpful if you have poked around the
 code and know how the subsystem you propose to modify is currently
 designed. So, to answer your question -- it's not required but from
 experience we know that it is highly correlated with high quality proposals.

 My suggestion is to get a draft of your proposal up on melange as soon as
 you can. That way, the mentors can give you feedback before the deadline.
 (You can edit your proposal on Melange before the deadline on Friday).

 Cheers,
 RJ

 Hi Everyone,

 Firstly, I'd like to introduce myself :) I am an Computer Science
 masters student studying at Oxford Brookes, with an undergraduate BSc in
 Audio Production. I just found out about GSoc and Mixxx and would really
 love to get involved. Seriously great work on Mixxx btw, it gives Traktor a
 damn good run for its money!

 So, I have downloaded the mixxx source code and compiled it both using
 the command line and with Eclipse and the Sconsolidator plugin. I have
 also thoroughly read through the code and I am getting to grips with its. I
 realise the application deadline is very soon and am wondering what to
 focus on. Is it more important that I spend time on my application,
 describing what I have in mind for the loop recorder in great detail or do
 I need to fix a bug or two first, for my application to be taken seriously
 (how important is fixing a bug in other words!)? I have some cool ideas
 including a slicing feature, similar to that on Novation's Twitch.

 Best,

 Rowan
