Hi again, Kartik! Our project idea is pretty open-ended — there really is a lot of work to do in the Table API / SQL documentation, so we're not being picky about what people choose to work on. Regarding timelines on our side, I think FLIP-60 and other documentation improvement proposals will be tackled more ad-hoc style and not so much like a continuous project, as there isn't *one* person dedicated to just focusing on that.
If you're looking for a bit more concrete points, Seth did a good summary in a previous thread: *"Restructure the Table API & SQL Documentation* *Right now the Table / SQL documentation is very technical and dry to read. It is more like a technical specification than documentation that a new user could read. This project is to take the existing content and rewrite/reorganize it to make what the community already has more approachable.* *Extend the Table API & SQL Documentation* *This is to add brand new content. This could be tutorials and walkthroughs to help onboard new users or expanding an under-documented section such as Hive interop."* Feel free to ask for a review of your project proposal once you've put it together, if you feel like you need it! And sorry again for the broken e-mail chain.

I was looking forward to getting started with the proposal document for GSoD. I wanted to know what are the expectations from the document. I am assuming you must be looking for the timelines for various stages of the project. Other than that, the proposals already have a detailed structure of what the documentation should look like but we can have a discussion to check if there is scope for moving some of the sections.
