The time shedule

This follows the time shedule which I suggested on the Google SoC application.

The time which I plans for the work is of 3 months that is 90 days. The plan suggest the way of completing the task with in 80 days and one day is kept as reserve for each set of 8 days and hence this schedule takes a duration of 90 days to complete this project.

Day 1 to 15 : Task #1 : Discussion with artist and font designers. The idea of font will be discussed with them and sketches of the glyphs will be made.
Day 16 to 25 : Task #2 : The basic glyphs will be designed using the calligraphies available in SVG format using inkscape.
Day 26 to 40 : Task #3 : The glyphs will be created using the Fontforge tool. The pre - alpha version of font is thus created.
Day 41 to 50 : Task #4 : Testing of the font. The readability and clarity of the font on different size on the screen and while printing will be checked and bugs will be noted.
Day 51 to 60 : Task #5 : The issues tracked on the task #4 will be solved. The alpha version of the font will be created by the end of Task #5.
Day 61 to 70 : Task #6 :Discussion with font designers artist etc on the font and collecting the issues raised by them
Day 71 to 80 : Task #7 :The bugs and issues found on the font will be solved and the beta version will be released to the public as the result of task #7

The first stable version of the font will be released only after another 3 months from the beta release only by which more issues and problems of the font can be rectified.

The day 1 is May 1st :)
