About a little question

[Edward Sun]

Dear Sir,

    My name is Zhiqing SUN. I am a freshman in Peking University, China and major in Computer Science. And I want to take part in GSoC and work on Octave Project as I sometimes use Octave to calculate matrices.

   But there is a small problem that although I have learned coding for six years and have gotten good grades in China's NOIP. I think I am good at understanding and implementing algorithms. And I think I will get good grades in ACM this year. My Advanced Algebra score is also very good. But I am not familiar with big project at all. For example, I don't know how to fix the bugs in Short projects and how to  subscribe them. I am feeling very worried now. Would there be anything I can do? Could you give some advice?

Yours Sincerely

Zhiqing SUN
