Dear Vishnu, 

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

Please read carefully this section: 
<http://wiki.octave.org/GSoC_Project_Ideas#Steps_Toward_a_Successful_Application>
to find out what is expected from GSoC applicants. 

About your idea, on (mix) integer linear programming, could you please
compare and contrast the Octave and Matlab interfaces? Maybe your personal
page on the Octave wiki is a good starting place to post it.

Also, it's recommended you try one of the very short projects available at: 
<http://wiki.octave.org/Short_projects>

Please don't hesitate to ask for help here or on IRC: 
<http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=octave>

Best regards, 
-Felipe.
