Xapian devel - Mar 2012 - I want to volunteer Xapian in GSoC 2012.

Hi,

I am an undergraduate student of Computer Science and Engineering. I want
to volunteer Xapian in Google Summer of Code 2012. But I have no experience
of working on Open Source projects. I am really interested in "Test
Extraction Library" project. I meet some of its requirements like I'm
pretty much familiar with C++ (and now learning even advanced C++
programming) and have keen interest in Linux System Programming, which I'll
learn very soon if guided. So can anyone tell me what should I do to get
into GSoC and contribute to Open Source.

P.S: My skill sets are C, C++, Core Java and if any of the projects require
anything else then I'm ready to learn it too. I'm a quick learner and
hard
worker. :P
