Hi, I am Abhishek and am interested in knowing about the gsoc project "GIS enhancements to MariaDB". I participate often in the programming contents hosted at these sites: Codeforces: abhi170893 (Division 1) TopCoder: abhi170893 ( Divsion 1) Codechef: abhi_iiit_17 ( Ranked 6 in India in DEC13 . 3 times in top 20 in country.) Spoj: abhi170893 (over 100 problems) The ideas page mentions C as the required skill and I am good at coding in C. Also on the ideas page not much is written about the project. Where can i get more details about it..? what things should i explore first before trying for this project..? the complexity level..? the competition involved..?Do i need to fix bugs first..? If yes, their links..? Thanks Abhishek Kumar CSE, IIIT Hyderabad (India)
