Hi Sandeep. Yes, I'm interested in mentoring a student for the Mapping package. In fact, I've just enrolled as a mentor for Octave. I must say that I'm more of a subject domain expert than a FLOSS developer. I have 10+ years of experience programming in Matlab and earned a PhD working with GPS. We should be able to complete several of the missing functions together. I'm still not sure whether this contribution would be submitted to Agora or Octave-Forge, depending on the requirements.
Your wiki page looks okay. I'd like you to focus now on the Y section, please.
It needs to be further detailed, e.g., what functions are intended to be implemented.
Also please allocate as much time for testing as for implementation.
Soon it'll be time to copy it over to the melange website.
