Good first steps are to build the projects, and get familiar with the
codes involved. Learning a little more about file formats, looking at
existing support for trajectories, and mapping out what could be done
to improve the support for MD in Avogadro would be great. Making a
pull request with a trivial patch (fix a typo, etc) would put you in
good standing.

We are working on a proposal template to help guide students as they
write their proposals, and guide you on what we would like to see.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Marcus
