Hi Rashkit,

Welcome to the team!

On your questions:

1. I think it would be good at looking at low-end phone browser as well 
as text-only browsers as a high-priority target, but your architecture 
choices should not preclude any other platforms. It would be good if you 
could at least describe a breadth of platforms at a high level.
2. You can choose which format you submit in.
3. It is not vital to deliver code, but if source code you have written 
is available for us that would help us in our evaluation.

Br,

_Andreas_
