[vtkusers] GSOC Project Information

[Marcus D. Hanwell]

Hi Jatin,

This idea was proposed by Aashish (in CC), who is also listed as a
potential mentor. He would be the best person to guide you in further
exploring this idea, and eventually fleshing it out into a proposal if
it looks like a good match.

Thanks for your interest, as Google Summer of Code is primarily a
development activity (and our developers monitor that list more
closely) you might consider using the VTK developers list in future.

Marcus
