First of all hello to all and congratulations to r-project on passing requirements for mentoring organization! I'm interested in participating this year, and from proposed ideas I think last one - that's "Finite Mixture Models for Large Data Sets" fits me best... (but I don't freeze out some other, maybe new ideas)... What would be workflow for discussing possible other ideas or details of existing one? In case of existing ideas is mailing list preferred or direct mail contact with will-be-mentor - or maybe this should be better leaved for after-application period? I think that's all for now, but I will come up with many more probably in future - that's also mine first try at GSoC... thanks in advance for answers, regards, Andrzej Giniewicz. btw - I planned to drop by into IRC from time to time, for who should I look to know that there is someone that is not only-user?
