Thanks, the project idea looks good for GSoC.  I've talked to Alex about
adding it to the wiki page.

The "How to propose a custom project idea" section on the wiki says:

  Note that other candidates can apply for newly added project ideas.
  This ensures that custom project ideas are fair and open.

This means that Alex has agreed to mentor the _project idea_.  Proposing
a custom project idea doesn't guarantee that you will be selected for
it.

I think you already knew that but I wanted to clarify in case someone
reading misinterprets what you wrote to think custom project ideas are a
loophole for getting into GSoC.
