This would be Ok for a microproject, but you have\nalready worked on one, so you should probably aim at something a bit\nmore complex. See the \"Only ONE quality focused microproject per\napplicant\" section in\nhttps://git.github.io/General-Microproject-Information/.\n\nBy the way, please put your possible mentors (Hariom and me) in Cc.\n\nThanks,\nChristian.\n"}]}
