Your proposal is due by June 6. It must be submitted in PDF and include the "source code" in LyX, LaTeX, DocBook, or TEI formats. In addition, it must be placed under version control using Mercurial or Git (to make sure you know how to use it). Ideally, you can just submit your repository URL to me and add me as a collaborator.
