<div dir="ltr">Hi Amartya,<div><br></div><div>I just sent the invite.</div><div><br></div><div>For the project, at this point I would recommend thinking about the basics, such as:</div><div>1. Which methods exactly do you think are most important to implement? How many do you think are reasonable to cover in a summer?</div><div>2. Review those methods, and let us know if there's anything you don't understand... any tough equations, or things you anticipate problems with in the implementation?</div><div>3. Where do you think this will live? Would the code go into the cclib repository, or something built on top of it?</div><div><br></div><div>One of the things we really look at is intro work and any contributions, however small, since that's a good indicator or the quality of code you will contribute during the summer. Take a look at our current issues in cclib, maybe take a stab at one of them. Try to work with the code, read through it a little bit.</div><div><br></div><div>Another thought for you (and others applying): cclib has been around for a long time as far as OOS projects go (>10 years), so there are a lot of warts and legacy bits in there. Sometimes those stand in the way of new ideas and projects - consider if and how this would affect your project.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps a little,</div><div>Karol</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 7, 2019 at 9:04 AM Amartya Prusty <<a href="mailto:aprusty98@gmail.com">aprusty98@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Karol,</div><div>I am Amartya Kumar Prusty, a 3rd year undergraduate student at IIT Kanpur, India and I am interested in learning and contributing to your organization.
