Hi Hamza,
I've had a look initially but forgot to get back to you - basically your proposal looks pretty solid.
For some of the things (in particular) SCA it would be good to check where in the world this kind of signal is still added
to FM (I mostly found references to the U.S. and Canada) and if it is easy to get some recordings from there to
replay into your implementation of the decoder.
Initially I haven't considered implementation of SCA decoding and this slightly increases the scope of the project (I haven't found out if gr-rds already supports this). There seems a mention in a Doxygen file, but there is no reference in code or the git history. I suppose the original author planned to add this, but never actually implemented SCA.
With this I think it fits well to the medium size (175 hours) project.
As for the questions I thinks you described the features well and also length & timeline work out well.
Some of the technical (implementation) details we can discuss after the ideas have been accepted, I think for the proposal it's good enough right now.
Overall I was proposing this project to also show some example of how to implement an application using GNU Radio, e.g. also interacting with flowgraphs & doing flowgraph "management" programatically. So, not just creating and using flowgraphs in a GUI, but possibly creating & changing flowgraphs in Python code, since this gives you a lot of flexibility for your applicatiion. But as said, this is more of a technical implementation detail :)
Cheers,
Andrej

Anyway I would really appreciate it if anyone on the mailing list would give me some insight on my proposal. It's a 5 min read :(, I think it's long, what do you all think?

However, I would love to hear suggestions on areas for improvement, whether it's refining the features, structuring the timeline better, or improving clarity in my explanations.
