Hello,
I think the ODE algorithms are in pretty good shape. Ultimately you
should work on something that you have interest in. Some topics off the
top of my head are:
1. Add a LAPACK/LAPACKE interface to the gsl_linalg routines
2. Sparse matrices needs a preconditioner for the GMRES solver
3. Regularized Least squares: it would be nice to have some routines to
help with automated L-curve analysis (see the Matlab regularization toolkit)
4. N-d interpolation
5. Gridding of scattered datasets (direct gridding, minimum curvature, etc)
6. Large least squares systems: develop routines for large systems to
avoid storing the design matrix (linear) or Jacobian matrix (nonlinear)
in memory
These are all topics I'm personally interested in, but don't have much
time for. Perhaps others have suggestions too.
Please note that if you start working on GSL, start by making an
extension to the library so others can easily try out your code.

Greetings to all,
I am a masters student of the Center for Modeling and Simulation
(http://cms.unipune.ac.in) at the University of Pune, India. I want to
contribute to the GNU Scientific Library. Looking through the old GSL task
list, I came across an item `Sine and Cosine Transforms from FFTPACK ' and
another one - `ODE algorithms from Netlib'.
I wanted to know whether these items are still on the TODO list. If so,
how can I contribute to these tasks. If not, what are the other tasks
needing work ? Please let me know.
Thanks,
