Hi Andrei,
I've read your application and it looks very promising, the only point I
think I could make is to have into account both small and large texts
translations when profiling. I believe the size of the text to translate
can make a difference when making optimization decisions.
About the branches, I don't know what Francis' idea is, but I guess if you
get the GSoC project you could take over master and use it as an
integration branch. It would be nice if you run the tests/ scripts, they
aren't much but they're better than nothing.
In fact, if you feel there is room for it, improving the tests coverage
could be a part of the application. Making optimization changes with a good
test coverage is always safer.
Anyway, those are my two cents, good work Andrei!
