+For Gentoo, the coding period should not explicitly include time to 
+learn, research, investigate, etc. Your initial research should be done 
+before writing the proposal, to convince us that you know enough about 
+your project to understand it and complete it successfully. If further 
+dedicated time for research/learning is required, it should happen 
+during the community-bonding period, which comes before the coding 
+period.

+We understand that sometimes implementations cannot match the proposal, 
+and further experimentation and research may be necessary while

+the implementation itself rather than devoting a week to research.

 <p>We highly recommend having some initial discussion with one of the mentors about
 your proposal before you submit it.</p>
