Discussing those better ways on the dev list is also encouraged. No plans every stay the same. The value of plans is the process of planning, not the plan itself, as someone else has said.

In the proposal you will have to show some plan on how you intend to solve those problem(s) mainly to convince the mentors that you have an idea on what you are planning to do. While executing the project, finding better ways to solve the initial problem(s) is always encouraged. :) On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 6:05 PM, Apoorv Palkar <apoorv_pal...@aol.com> wrote: If you promise to do things a certain way, but you find a better solution when actually working the project, can you implement new ideas and scrap old ones? -----Original Message----- From: Supun Nakandala <supun.nakand...@gmail.com> To: dev <dev@airavata.apache.org> Sent: Wed, Mar 29, 2017 4:43 pm Subject: Re: [GSoC] Number of Deliverables Hi Apoorv, As a sample project proposal, I would recommend you to refer this. >From my experiences as a past GSoC student, I think having specific and >challenging goals should make your proposal more attractive and increase the >chances of getting accepted. However trying to come up with a set of goals which you think is overly unrealistic will also hinder your success later because you will be judged based on what you promise(proposal). It is completely ok to not being able to achieve what you promise. But you will have to prove that you put significant effort in achieving your goals (which can get tricky). -Supun On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 5:23 PM, Apoorv Palkar <apoorv_pal...@aol.com> wrote: How many goals should we aim to put in our proposal?
