Hey Athul,

What kind of experience do you have with Open Source development? Can 
you try
downloading Apitrace and compiling it from scratch?

If you think compiling and making a simple patch for apitrace would take you
less than a week, then I would say that you should first try to get a 
proposal ready
by tonight so as I can review it, suggest improvements and you could 
publish it in time.
Here are the guidelines: https://www.x.org/wiki/GSoCApplication/

Be also aware that you should not have any other commitment during the 
time of the GSoC.

Thanks,
Martin
