HI Saahil, nice to meet you here on list! Working on the Apache SpamAssassin project especially on a statistical classifier is an excellent choice for a student GSOC student.
For this and the ticket 267 that you also expressed interest in, you've taken the correct step to engage the developer community for the project. Your first step is to go to https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html and make sure you read the "Students Read this Section" The second step is discussion and to start drafting your proposal. I'm a fan of using Google Docs and spreadsheets because it allows for easy sharing and collaborative work on documents. I'd likely recommend For the bugs, the auto-linking is adding the comma so use https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7287 We'll want you to discuss progress (designs, code, etc.) early on with the rest of the community here on this list so you don't run into major problems later on. And this will be where you post questions and I'll be here to make sure people are nice, don't flame you and your questions make sense. For others reading this, we could use more mentors for the program to help! Anyone willing to be a backup mentor? Regards, KAM -- Kevin A. McGrail Asst.
