Hi Sushant,
congrats again for your nicely written proposal.
Now it's time to start the engine, with the "community bonding".
You might have received already an e-mail from Stefano, however a few very brief things,
just before rushing to catch my flight:
1) it may be helpful for you to just drop a quick message on the lyx-devel list, presenting
yourself
2) please, interact as much as possible on the lyx-devel list; any technical question regarding
the project, the LyX source-code, how to change this and that, let's have as much as this
discussion on the list;
3) any GSOC-specific question, such as things specific to your progress / time-line etc., may stay
private if preferred;
4) You need to get familiar with the LyX source-code, and as discussed, one of the very first baby
steps may be to just port that old patch I wrote some time ago on the current code base. That
will allow to familiarize also with building LyX.
Other 2 baby-step things will be:
5) set-up a GSOC repo where you'll be able to commit and push frequently (ideally, daily)
6) set-up a LyX wiki page where we can track-down the project status, main issues, etc.
For any question, please, write, ask, interact, get to know the key people who can and surely
will help, besides myself of course.
Thanks, bye.
Tommaso
