Hi,
I am Tilak Raj Singh, pursuing B.Tech in Information Technology. I have Intermediate skills in C/C++ programming. Currently I am in my 2nd Year of 4year programme. I was interested in your Akima Interpolation Project. I have been studying Computer Based Numerical and Statistical Theory this semester and have been through some interpolation methods so this one did seem quiet interesting to me. Unfortunately I all new to open source communities and dont know much about them.Heard about GSoC from some of my seniors. To be very honest I have no involvement with R but would like to work on this project. Could you please guide me how to proceed further????

Thanking you,
Tilak Raj Singh

Tilak,

Thank you for your inquiry.

What I'm going to say applies equally to you and to any other students
on this list.

Students should contact mentors for the project that they are interested
in as soon as possible to begin discussing your project.

Project ideas should all be listed here:
http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=developers:projects:gsoc2013

and project mentors should be named in the ideas pages.

Also, as a student, you'll need to sign up for a melange account here:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2013/rproject

and post your application. Please pay careful attention to the
instructions in the application template.

The student application period closes this Friday. That's TOMORROW. You
need to have a credible application in melange by this time, or your
application will likely be downvoted by the mentors and will not get a slot.

As the slot allocation period progresses, you may be asked to add more
information to your application. If this happens, please address any
questions from R project mentors as expeditiously as you can.

Google has somewhat extended the timelines for slot awards this year,
and the behind the scenes process is longer this year than in prior years.

Students will be notified on May 31st by Google whether their
application was accepted/rejected.

(on behalf of your R GSoC program administrators)
Regards,

Brian

Isn't the student application deadline is 5/3 (Fri), a week from
tomorrow? Can you confirm the date?

Thanks,

You are correct, I was looking at my calendar incorrectly. Sorry for
the confusion.
