Hi Kai,

Sorry for getting in touch with you this late, welcome to GSoC and to Octave!

I might have missed a few of your first posts on this list so I'm just checking 
in 
with you and Nir to know how your first steps are going.

Have you tried building Octave sources yet? 
Have you started getting acquatinted with its development environment?
Did you set up a GSoC blog?

Best wishes for your project!
