I think this is a good first draft.

A few comments:

- For the “Project” and “Plan” parts, feel free to expand on the
  functional and non-functional requirements, based on previous
  discussion (for example the fact that the AST will probably have a
  coarse grain) and from your personal intuition.  It doesn't matter if
  your intuition doesn't match with what I have in mind, it will just be
  a good occasion to discuss the project in more details.

- Regarding the example script deliverable, I think you can precise that
  a set of examples that can be manually tested will be provided.  If it
  helps you and fit your workflow (for example if you want to do TDD or
  similar), you can add some automated unit tests however this is not a
  requirement.

- For the documentation, this doesn't have a high priority.  I will be
  happy with just some basic docstrings specifying the functional
  contract of subroutines.

Regarding the communication.  For the weekly status update and
discussion, if that's OK with you I would rather have a VOIP one on one
conversation (via Ring or Jitsi) when possible and use email as a
fallback or complement.  Regarding the instantaneous communication IRC
is convenient for me.

Thanks.
