There seems to be another communication issue. 🙂

Sure, but then you are sharing your proposal with your potential  
competitors. There’s a discussion on the Google mentor list right now  
about how different organizations handle this. We’ll draft some  
guidelines regarding this and also the scoring process for GNU Radio.

If your proposal is great and accepted, I’m sure getting the necessary  
hardware will be possible.

Best regards,  
Jens

It’s not guaranteed, but probably, yes, and he _is_ the guy to ask re  
feedback.

Of course, but just posting your proposal will not help.  
Specific questions are better!
