Hi Tanuj,
I wrote a big letter to the list. There is some answers there. Also I
add comments below.
Best regards,

Sorry for replying so late, got caught up in an exam :)
I replaced libpng folder of gdal (frmts/png/libpng) with libpng
1.6.21. And then used ./configure and make install on this test
version of gdal, which installed successfully. I used gdalinfo on a
png file provided with the libpng 1.6.21 source, to check if it was
OK, and it successfully gave the png file details.
Is that enough to check the build on the computer?
No, the autotests must be passed.
I have also tested the gdal library with libpng 1.6.21 on Travis, and
the build succeeded.
https://travis-ci.org/Raeburn1687/gdal/builds/115487530
Would all that be enough to check whether the update was succesful?
I expected that travis from main gdal repo checked your PR.
PS - Although I have copied the files from libpng 1.6.21 source to the
gdal libpng folder, how would I know if any of those files are not
required for gdal?
You need to see the previous version. Some files not needed (i.e.
configures and so on, which already comes from gdal, but legal notice
must be present (license, autors, etc.) ). Don't hesitate to ask in list.
Thank you
Tanuj

Yes, I have looked at the ideas list, and I am currently reading
up on idea no. 16, which is, implementing support for the
proposed standard for incrementally parseable GeoJSON data.
Also, I was thinking that maybe I could work on ticket no 6294,
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6294
after I've studied about the GSoC idea, which is not really a
bug, but an enhancement. But if there are any other tickets that
you or anyone else would like to recommend me to work on, I'd
love to see them too!
I think this rather arguing ticket as the bool is not exist in
plain C, and duplication functions seems to me not good idea.
I think this ticket https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6185 is
good for: 1. building GDAL, 2. Testing via TraviC on GitHub. By
the way the libpng version is 1.6.21 or maybe higher.
Anyhow, you have to try to build gdal and test it with autotests
from appropriate folder.
Now, about the GSoC idea, do I need to know JSON( or GeoJSON, for
that matter) to work on it? I only ask because the idea lists
C/C++ as the required skills, but I feel that maybe this work
would involve knowing JSON too...
Yes, certainly. But JSON are very simple. Also GeoJSON spec. can
be found here http://geojson.org/Thanks and regards,
Tanuj

Hi, Tanuj
I'll look for opened tickets for you, or maybe others can
recommend some for you.
By the way, do you see the idea list
(https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode#a2016IdeasList)?
The ideas are not ranked yet - the numbers in the list - are
only in order.
This is a task for us to rank the ideas.
But, have you some preferable idea (or ideas) for GSoC from
this list or maybe you have got own?
Best regards,
Dmitry

Hello,
I am interested in applying for GSoC this year. Currently, I
am reading up on the GDAL Summer of Code ideas list. I know
C++ and C, and I have some experience on working on linux.
Could the mentors please recommend a bug for me to work on,
I'd really love to start off as soon as possible!
Thank you,
