• Why do you want to work with the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing?

Being a malayali, the cause of developing Malayalam computing aids is something I can relate to and am excited about. The possibility of being able to help people who speak the same language as mine, directly with what I learned is exciting.

• Do you have any past involvement with the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing or another open source project as a contributor?

No

• 'Did you participate with the past GSoC programs, if so which years, which organizations?

No

• Do you have other obligations between May and August ?

I have my college holidays from May to July middle, during which I don't have any obligations. I have to attend college during last two weeks of July and August; I am planning to make up for this period by starting coding a bit earlier during the community bonding period.

• Will you continue contributing/ supporting the Swathanthra Malayalam Computing after the GSoC 2014 program, if yes, which area(s), you are interested in?"

Yes, I am glad I found the organisation through GSoC and I am planning to actively contribute outside of the program.

• Why should we choose you over other applicants?

I am experienced in programming for over 6 years and am good at Python, the language of the existing spell-checker. I have direct access to the language resources (books and people) required for the project.
