Project Info

- Which project from https://matrix-org.github.io/gsoc are you applying for?
  If you have your own idea, please add it to our projects list:
  https://github.com/matrix-org/gsoc

- What is the final goal for this project? What would make it a total
  and perfect success?

- Are you already engaged with the project's possible mentors and do
  you have any preference for a particular mentor?
  We will try to get you your first choice for a mentor, usually it will
  be the first listed mentor as primary and another as secondary.
  All projects will have a primary and a secondary mentor.

- What parts of the matrix ecosystem do you have to work with in order to complete
  this project? What else are you planning on using?

    - Please provide a schedule with dates and important
      milestones/deliverables (preferably in two week increments).
      This is a great help in evaluating your own progress and helps you
      achieving your goal as it forces you to plan your work preemptively.

Add all ideas you have to solve the project here.


Other Commitments
-----------------

- Do you have any other commitments during the GSoC period,
  May 27th to August 19th?

    - We don't penalize students for needing adjustments to schedule if
      they're up-front about them and have a plan to mitigate any issues.
      However, we *will* fail students for lying about their availability
      and subsequently falling behind in their work. Be honest!

    - Do you have exams or classes that overlap with this period?

    - Do you have plans to have any other job or internship during this
      period?
        - This is __NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL__ as GSoC is intended to be a
          full time job. But can be worked around if it only a small overlap.

    - Do you have any other short term commitments during this period?
        - e.g. family wedding, conferences, volunteer projects, planned
          vacation days

- Have you applied to any other organizations? If so, to whom and do you have a
  preferred project/org? (This will help us in the event that more than one
  org decides they wish to accept your proposal.)
