I sent some suggestions (mostly grammar, some rewording etc) to Abishek
in a private e-mail.

Hi Jakub,

I have got the diff patches sent by you and the changes have been done :)
Should I submit it on melange now ?

Thank you!

Hey Abhishek,

couple of more comments (and maybe the native speakers on this list
would have more):

In the paragraph titled "Why do you want to work with the Fedora
Project?", the last sentence sounds a little too excited for a
application, but maybe that's just my English. Anyway, I don't really
understand the word "lucid" in this context.

I wouldn't name the weeks in the plan "Test Week" but either "Project
Week" or simply "Week".

I the "Deliverables" section, I don't really understand the second
bullet point. Should it say something like "Contribute to the overall
code quality by uncovering issues with the unit tests" ?
Also the first bullet point could mention the LDAP provider tests as a
deliverable.

The rest looks good to me.

by lucid I mean to say that everything looks clear. Things are not
over-focused, they are simple, clear yet attractive.

I have submitted my application on melange
https://google-melange.appspot.com/gsoc/proposal/review/google/gsoc2013/abhi...
It can still be edited. Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

Regards,
Abhishek

Just for the record, Abhishek's application is now at Melange and I put
in my review comments (which were positive).
