I was recently contacted off-list by Mengxing Liu, who has been looking at the same project, and said he was planning to submit a GSoC proposal. Rather than have one of you sit this out, do either of you feel comfortable taking a different project instead? Since you've both been looking at the serializable code and supporting documents, perhaps one of you could change to the other suggested Serializable project? > I am going to prepare a draft proposal for this project and share > it with you soon.

At a minimum, the proposal should include list of milestones you expect to reach along the way, and a timeline indicating when you expect to reach them. Some description of the benchmarks you intend to run would be also be very good. > Until then, I would like to familiarize myself a bit with the > codebase and fix some bug/todo.
