Re: GSoC candidate

Hi Alaa.

As a potential mentor I'm glad to know we can join forces!

I want to improve the proposal. 

The mayor thing is about use straight and curved shapes to split. It
have similar effort (except the part to exclude unwanted/unapplicable
paths) and give more power to it.

Also in the proposal I define some "ways to" and think we need to
define some of them lately, we also have the great help of team_ux[1]
to help on decissions.

As you can see I`m not english native, hope is not a problem.

Looking forward you proposal is acepted.
