'''Why I think I can complete this project successfully'''
I believe in the cliche about actions speaking louder than words, so I plan on porting [https://github.com/PabloCastellano/telepathy-python telepathy-python] to python3 in the coming week, So I can show that I'm committed and capable of undertaking this project. I strongly feel for Sugar and want to contribute to it one way or another, so much so I would be interested in doing so regardless of whether I get into GSoC.

At the end of my project, the testing on the sugar toolkit and the sugar core would have improved greatly and I strongly believe that a robust set of unit tests is a must for every project as it eases development. Python 3 has better unicode support and I think a lot of activities based around text would greatly benefit from porting to python 3.

First there's the sugarlabs community, I'm sure there will always be someone around on the mailing list or the IRC who are willing to help. Then there's always the internet, which is an amazing resource. So much so that I could say that half the things I've learnt in my life have been through the Internet. Sites like stackoverflow has a very diverse community always willing to offer help. If none of it work out, works out , I would try working on a different part of the project until my mentor is available or I find a proper solution.

I plan on writing a report every week on my [http://upman.github.io blog] and also discuss with people regularly  over the mailing list or the IRC channel.

I might also write articles about six and the approaches I use to write polyglot so I can keep the developers in the know of what I'm doing. This could also serve as documentation for when somebody is looking to add to the sugar core or make a bug fix in the future.
