Re: Joseph S. GSoC project proposal

Hello,

Attached is the third and final draft of my proposal.

I shall be submitting this version tomorrow, save for the addition of two
more written references (when they arrive).

Thanks to everybody for their help, and best wishes and good luck to the
other students!

Joe
