Geometry Boost List: Re: [geometry] Potential Gsoc project topic

As per the suggestions of Vissarion, I drafted a project proposal on the
idea proposed. The draft is incomplete for now and is a basic version of
the final proposal. The reason for posting the incomplete proposal here is
that I had some queries regarding my proposal, and it would be great if
they were answered before moving forward.

1) Is the project proposed too short or too long to be finished within the
time frame?
2) Are more details required on the implementation of the proposed topics?

I have only written about the first part of my project in the proposal.
Soon I will provide the details of the two other parts, once I know whether
I am going in the right way.
Here is the link to my proposal
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ex_4Up9gGowGGW0SO16ARx_CeU75dGpqME7nDaDFnlI/edit?usp=sharing

Looking forward to hearing from the mentors.
Regards,
Ayush
