[Nir Krakauer]

Dear Eugenio,

Great to hear from you. It's always good to have new contributors.

Please read carefully http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#Steps_Toward_a_Successful_Application to find out what is expected from GSoC applicants.

In terms of your specific interests:

1) Incomplete sparse factorizations : see http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#Incomplete_sparse_factorizations_ichol.2C_ilu for the current status and contact information to find out more. 

2) FEM: see http://wiki.octave.org/Fem-fenics and http://wiki.octave.org/Summer_of_Code_Project_Ideas#General_purpose_Finite_Element_library for what has been done and what some of the remaining problems are

If you get stymied during your explorations, don't hesitate to ask for help here or on IRC.

Sincerely,

Nir
