Hi, Kevin.
I've finished a draft proposal for "Eliminate O(N^2) scaling from rw-conflict tracking in serializable transactions". You can find it from GSOC website or by the link below.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/17TAs3EJIokwPU7UTUmnlVY3ElB-VHViyX1zkQJmrD1A/edit?usp=sharing
I was wondering if you have time to review the proposal and give me some comments?

> I've found various sources that give hints about what a student

> each student who expresses interest in making a proposal, or who
> submits a proposal that doesn't meet the below guidelines. Thoughts
> or suggestions for changes before we do? Remember, time is short,

> February 27 - March 20
> Potential student participants discuss application ideas with
> mentoring organizations
> March 20 16:00 UTC
> Student application period opens
> April 3 16:00 UTC
> Student application deadline
>
> Each GSoC student proposal should be a PDF file of 6 to 8 pages. In
> the end, Google will publish these documents on a web page, so the
> student should make each proposal something which they will be happy
> to have future potential employers review.

> Some ideas for desirable content:
>
> - A resume or CV of the student, including any prior GSoC work
> - Their reasons for wanting to participate
> - What else they have planned for the summer, and what their time
> commitment to the GSoC work will be
> - A clear statement that there will be no intellectual property
> problems with the work they will be doing -- that the PostgreSQL
> community will be able to use their work without encumbrances
> (e.g., there should be no agreements related to prior or
> ongoing work which might assign the rights to the work they do
> to someone else)
> - A description of what they will do, and how
> - Milestones with dates
> - What they consider to be the test that they have successfully
> completed the project
>
> Note that a student proposal is supposed to be far more detailed
> than the ideas for projects provided by the organization -- those
> are intended to be ideas for what the student might write up as a
> proposal, not ready-to-go proposal documents.
