GSoc Proposal

Sun Mar 13 21:06:07 UTC 2016

Hello,

I've written a proposal based on the idea "attaching animations to styles"
. I've attached the file with this email. Please provide a feedback on how
it can be improved or what things are lacking in it. I would really
appreciate if someone could guide me whether i headed in the right
direction or not.I haven't contacted the proposed mentor personally and
these are my insights on the idea.

Regards,
Rohan Kumar
