I have just clicked the button, to see the form, and yes, the timeline is the most difficult part of it. I have been reading your discussion in another thread of mails, so I am a little mixed up with that. (I guess it is your discussion, but it confused me a little at least about how to go on). Shall we discuss together how to set the timeline? Shall I propose it? Do I need to know the editing tools before starting the internship if I am chosen? > > -- > Ricardo > Regards! Laura
