Sounds good.  Keep an eye on the timeline from Google too -
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

At the end of this week of familiarization, the next step will involve putting
together a detailed proposal of the work - which is due by the end of the
following week.  So as you're looking through the code and discussing it with
me, keep notes and start building up that proposal document as you go - it'll
need to be submitted to the GSoC site relatively soon.

It's a bit KDE-specific, but all the same principles apply.  Note especially:
"get it reviewed [...] well before submitting it to the Google Summer of Code
web application."

cheers.
