Hey, I am Varun and this year I wish to take part in Google Summer of Code 2016 . I have been looking around the project ideas on the ideas page of MariaDB and am interested in the idea 'AGGREGATE STORE FUNCTIONS' . It would be helpful if someone could guide me where should i start looking to get more details related to this project idea.

First, note that we are not taking students yet. MariaDB was not yet accepted into GSoC 2016 - we applied, but the list of accepted organizations will be announced on February 29th. See https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ But anyway, if you like an early start... This project is described in our bug/feature tracker at https://mariadb.atlassian.net/browse/MDEV-7773 As you can see, while the functionality is reasonably clear, the syntax is not. So, the first task - before any coding could start - would be to decide what syntax to implement. See MDEV-7773, check what other databases do, tell which one you prefer, have your own ideas. Discuss them here on the list :) Regards, Sergei Chief Architect MariaDB and security@mariadb.org
