Hi Maik, thanks for the pointers! Will follow up on protocols and the Data 
Set implementation as mentioned.

  Clojure project is the best one for me because I have a strong 
 foundation in 
  Linear Algebra. 
 I would be very happy if you manage to work on this project. Having 
 support for the 
 linear algebra operations is a long standing issue in core.matrix. 
 Also Mike did a fantastic job mentoring me last year ;) 
  Please give me some suggestions on understanding and learning more about 
 the 
  project. So far I've seen the Enter the Matrix Clojure conj talk and 
 have 
  begun browsing the core.matrix source on Github. What other things can I 
 do? 
 I think it is good to contact Mike Anderson (mikera on this 
 list) directly for your gsoc specific questions regarding this project 
 idea and what you can do 
 to prepare yourself for it. Here are some of my ideas of what you could 
 do: 
 You should learn how clojure protocols are working and figure out how 
 the code flows in 
 core.matrix. 
 Also, watch the numerical clojure mailing list and get involved 
 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/numerical-clojure 
 (There is currently an active discussion about a Data Set 
 implementation of core.matrix 
  which could be a good starting point) 

 greetings 
 Maik

Hi everyone. I'm Rohan Prinja, a third year Computer Science undergrad at IIT 
Bombay http://iitb.ac.in. I love programming in Lisp-family languages and 
although I have only recently begun to use Clojure, I'm already quite 
familiar with Racket and Common Lisp. I also have a basic knowledge of the J 
programming language http://jsoftware.com.

I am really interested in furthering my knowledge of Clojure while at the 
same time producing some meaningful contributions and in my opinion, 
contributing to open source via GSoC is the best way for me to do that! I 
went through the project ideas 
listhttp://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Project+Ideas and 
I feel that the Linear Algebra for Clojure project is the best one for me 
because I have a strong foundation in Linear Algebra.

Please give me some suggestions on understanding and learning more about 
the project. So far I've seen the Enter the 
Matrixhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h9TLJtjSJo Clojure 
conj talk and have begun browsing the core.matrix

Thank you!
