Well, one potential first step would be to see if you can start working with the detailed sample code provided in the link on the GSoC projects page. It's a lot of heavy code, almost 1,000 lines, but it's clean and well commented. Try to compile the code. We just fixed a minor bug with GCC 4.8.1 today, so we should be good to go on that sample file for, say GCC 4.6-ish through GCC 4.8.2, and VC10 through VC12. I only used a few C++11 features such as lambdas. See if you can pull the file and get it to run on a compiler of your choice. Best regards, Chris.

I have been going through the boost libraries for quite some time now, and also have read through the proposed GSoC projects in 2014. I am especially interested in the Boost.Math Generalized Hyper geometric Functions. Though I have gone through the links provided under that project and am trying to become versed with Boost's Math library, I am finding it difficult to find a starting point to contributing. I would be really glad if someone could help me in the initial phase by directing me to the right starting point and guide me through.
