Hi Maria,

you should definitely contact the corresponding mentor soon--the
application period will begin next week!

A piece of advice for you and all the other students planning to write a
proposal for this project: There are a lot LDPC implementations out
there; but we need something that is compatible with our licence.

Example: If code is available under the original BSD licence, you can't
use snippets from there.

I like how you've split this up into several deliverables. You should
have a look at the successful proposals from last year to get an idea
how yours might look.
