Oh, thanks for catching that! Indeed, I got a bit ahead of myself. I 
think that's the effect of "Tentative Timeline (in weekly intervals 
until 2 weeks after the end of GSoC)" section in KDE GSoC template; in 
this case, would it be two weeks after September 16 or September 23? I 
guess I can plan to finish up on soft goals after the firm pencils-down 
date. I'll "compress" the timeline later today.

It's the first time I'm participating, can't help you on this. :-) I'm 
going to use this occasion to reply to your other email, as I don't 
think this deserves a separate message for itself:

I'm eager to learn!
