I am planning to participate in GSOC 2017 and while going through http://apache-ignite-developers.2346864.n4.nabble.com/Google-Summer-Of-Code-2017-td13180.html
I found Ignite misses a native python client. I would like to work on it. SWIG or Ctypes can be used to access shared libraries. So right now I am going through How-to-contribute page of Ignite and at the same time understanding the functionality of Ignite. I would like to know if I can start working on it right now, so that I get better understanding of the code and also a head start related to the project.
