Thank you Lars for clarifying those things for me. I have already submitted a draft for review through the GSoC website (hosted on sharelatex), but per Lars' advice, I have also made the draft viewable as a google doc here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vu97h2gNuJMTEYdIcghFfo_9L4GtCpEprzWfOivhy6g/edit?usp=sharing>. I will kindly accept feedback from anyone who cares to give some, however in particular I would appreciate feedback from my prospective mentors, Thomas and Mindy.
