[OSM-dev] GSOC introduction and project question (OSM2World)

[Laco Pápay]

Hello Tobias,

thank you for your feedback and suggestions.

I've submitted the first draft of my proposal on this project to the
GSOC website. If you have some time could you please have a look at
it? Let me know if there are any points I should clarify or expand
upon and I will do so as soon as possible.

I've also provided a basic schedule. It is of course hard to predict
how long each subtask will take, but I think most of them are
overestimated and there are also several "buffer" weeks to catch up in
case there are unexpected delays.

Thanks,
Laco.
