We are currently discussing the SoC project ideas at http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2007-March/thread.html#17379 There are different views on this project - see Peter's and Akkana's mails. Maybe you want to participate in this discussion as well - you could tell us why you did choose this idea, for example. > The GIMP Soc wiki says that an application should include a time line > for implementing the certain parts of the proposed project.

If you can break up the project in smaller pieces, then you've got a time line. It will list milestones instead of dates. > Does anyone have any advice for how I should get started writing my > proposal? You can summarize how you do expect the menu browser to work, from a user's point of view - where it will be shown in the ui, how the user can interact with it, and so on. This will decide about the steps that have to be done from a developer's point of view, and this is when you can being to assign milestones.
