Finding your way around the source so that you can write a meaningful proposal is a task in itself. I would however strongly encourage you to send a rough draft to this mailing list first, at least a few days before the application deadline. The community can usually help fix various errors and misconceptions and especially help with planing the scope of the project. If you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask as well. Good luck! Martin
