Hi

I am Sanya Khurana , a beginner in Open Source and I am simply in love with Sympy. 
I will also be applying for GSOC 16 but I would love to contribute to Sympy in the longer run as well.

I went through the ideas page for GSoC 2016 and found almost all of them interesting but I believe I will be able to contribute to two of the following :

https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2016-Ideas#step-by-step-expression-visualization


Then may be after being able to evaluate every expression step by step, we can give the user an option to do so on Sympy Gamma just like WolframAlpha.

Since I am new to Open Source, I would be really grateful if you can guide me in the right direction. Are there any prerequisites required? 
What is the difficulty level of these two projects? 

Looking forward to your response

Thanks and Regards,
Sanya Khurana

SymPy Live/Gamma projects would likely require knowledge of Javascript
and web frameworks in addition to Python.

To start, you should find some easy issue to fix in SymPy and try to
fix it. That will get you up to speed with the GitHub workflow and the
SymPy codebase. There is a guide to get started at
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/Introduction-to-contributing. Some
easy to fix issues are tagged
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Easy+to+Fix%22,
or you are playing with SymPy and find something that doesn't work you
can work on it.
