Welcome! I'm also glad you've chosen this project.

Yes, we with Atri Sharma will mentor this project.

Cool!

Great!

Well, I think it is up to you how to make reproducible, precise and correct 
benchmarking :)
You can make exec (we will not have to merge it into PG, we need just results), 
or you can make Postgres extension (it is much easier) which will be executed 
from psql.

As far as I know, proposal cannot be modified. Actual work can be slightly 
adjusted though.

Let's establish communication. You can also build PostgreSQL from git and try 
pgbench (tool for benchmarking overall performance). Read something about 
TPC-(A,B,C) and YCSB, and may be even read something about sysbench.
I can think of following mediums of communications:
1. Slack channel
2. Telegram chat
3. Skype chat
4. E-mail

Atri, Kefar, how do you think, which of these will do best for us?
