That is totally right.

In the most general form it seems to be a too big task for summer because it
would include at least 2 projects listed on the ideas page. So to orient onto
the contest but to skip any contest specific parts may be necessary to take
real results during summer (in a form of the win) and to provide a good base
for next development as a general outcome from the project. I do not know.
Though I know that my view of subject at some points differ from others. So I
would like to hear more opinions to understand the right way.
