Hi Laura,

Don=E2=80=99t worry about that.  The number of contributions is not the pri=
mary
metric we use to select an intern.  Communication weighs a lot, and the
proposed timeline is pretty important to us, too.  The timeline won=E2=80=
=99t
necessarily be followed during the project (as it=E2=80=99s really hard to
predict exact durations), but it is good to spend some time on thinking
about how this big project can be broken up into much smaller, simpler
tasks.  To us it is important to see that this kind of careful thinking
reflected in the proposed timeline.
