[Haskell-community] Requesting review/feedback on GSoC Project Proposal

Sun Mar 25 09:55:31 UTC 2018

Sir/Mam,

I have uploaded the draft proposal on the Haskell organisation's GSoC page
for the project "Enhancing the Haskell Image Processing Library/Package
with State of the Art Algorithms" and would like to request you to kindly
review the same.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Yours sincerely,
Khilan Ravani.
