This is really good news. I'll have to make some changes to my application
to take this fact into account. I’m  really grateful for all the provided
answers, because they helped me understand better which features are of
paramount importance. I have one more question related to GSoC. I was told
that it’s always better to send proposals as early as possible. Does it
mean that I should expect some feedback even before the application
deadline, e.g. some hints or changes proposition? Or do you check all the
applications only after deadline, so it’s better to tinker with the details
till the very last day of application period?
