Hi James,
welcome to RIOT!
Best flesh out your ideas on this mailing list. This is exactly where we
discuss this kind of ideas and here you will get the best possible
feedback.
For BLE hardware I would suggest the Nordic SoC (NRF51822). This cpu is
already supported by RIOT and it allows you to get started with BLE
right away, without having to port RIOT to some new hardware first. But
before you actually look into a specific platform, I would highly
recommend to design and discuss your overall architecture first!
To get started with the code base, I would recommend to look at the
Github issues labeled as 'Newbie-Task-Candidate' and see if there is
something you find interesting. Don't hesitate to ask for more
information right in the Github issue if something is unclear.
Looking forward to hear more about your concrete plans!
Cheers,
Hauke

Hi, my name is James Hollister and I'm interested in applying for
Google Summer of Code. I'm currently a student at University of
California, Riverside with an interest in programming for embedded
systems.
I'd like to work on the Support for Bluetooth Low Energy idea, who
should I talk to in order to flesh out my ideas for getting this done
and make sure I'm on the right track? Also, what hardware is
recommended for this? I currently own a STM32F4 Discovery but I do not
have any BLE modules for it so I'm thinking I should buy an nrf51822
or similar.
Finally, do you have an issue that you can recommend that would give
me the best introduction to the code base?
Thanks,
