Pratik,
Thank you for your interest in Mifos. You've got a strong background and
I'm happy to see your eagerness to start contributing. Unfortunately,
Mifos will not be participating in Google Summer of Code this year but
as you stated, we welcome your contributions as a volunteer and member
of the community.
A quick way to get familiar and up to speed on Mifos is by fixing bugs -
we've compiled a list of bugs for new volunteers -

Our Get Started (http://mifos.org/contributors/get-started) and
Developer Setup
(http://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/display/MIFOS/Developer+Setup) pages
should connect you with the info on how to get your development
environment set up and configured.
Sign up for accounts on mifos.org (http://mifos.org/user/register) and
MifosForge (http://mifosforge.jira.com) too.
Definitely send along your ideas to the mailing list with as much detail
and background around them. Our team and members of community will be
happy to share feedback and discuss them.
Looking forward to seeing your contributions and helping us work towards
our vision of 3 Billion Maries!

Subject: [Mifos-users] contribution to the project
Hi,
I am student 3rd year engineering doing my majors in Computer Science. I
got introduced to FOSS world 2 years ago and have been involved in it
since then. I always wanted to contribute to the code which can have
social impact . I found Mifos of Grameen Foundation on gsoc pages , to
be one such project which is doing even more than what I could have
expected.
So, I would like to contribute to this project as it will give me a
feeling of satisfaction of working for the community.
I would also like to apply for it in GSoC 2011 , but that's not the only
reason. GSoc or not, I would like to become part of this community.
I have worked on some web based projects involving PHP, mysql and
javascript including HTML & CSS as well as I have good experience in
C/C++ and Python. I am currently working on an android project based on
python and sl4a, apart from other things.
Detailed description of my skill set and works is in my RESUME:

<http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1508451/ResumePratikAnand.pdf>
Please tell me in which areas I can contribute in and which part of it I
should get familiar with before applying for it in GSoc.
And I have few ideas of my own in this field ,so can I just state them
in mailing list/irc or some detailed writeup or illustration is needed ?
