A good first step would be to get familiar with the ideas mentioned on the
project page, you don't have to get every detail but a general idea would help
in the proposal preparing step. If you have any questions, please don#t hesitate
to ask. Also, note this is a C++ library, so you should be familiar with the
common patterns used over the codebase; see mlpack.org/gsoc.html for more
information.

Thanks,
Marcus
