Hello All, I am very sorry for the late response. I have my exams starting this week, until the end of the month. I should be able to contribute full-time to the project during my vacations after the exam.
I have made changes to the document to provide more details about my approach and deliverables in each phase. I hope I have answered most of the questions from Joel. Isaac, I have finally managed to download the source code from GIT on my laptop. It seems that the university network was blocking traffic over GIT protocol. I am now using a private internet connection to download source code. So far, I was using the 4.11 code that I had downloaded from FTP. I will soon port my changes to 4.12 and provide you a patch to look at. Please let me know any concerns you might have, that I can resolve before the acceptance deadline. I am really hoping to get accepted, and am looking forward to working with you on this project.
