Dear Mohit,

Thank you very much for your interest, it would be great if you could 
contribute to Gnuastro, given your knowledge of C and image processing, 
this seems to be a good project for you.

As described in the main GNU GSoC page [1], we are having the GSoC 
discussions on GNU Savannah's sr #110195 [2]. In between the posts, 
you'll see a list of steps to start you off in first using Gnuastro 
(giving you a good feeling on how to improve it) and then guidelines on 
how to bootstrap/build the version controlled source and pointers on how 
to start getting your hands dirty in the code.

So sorry for my late reply, I got your mail during an observing run at 
the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory [3]. I have just returned and 
could answer my emails.

Cheers,
Mohammad
