<div>Yes, I have looked at the ideas list, and I am
currently reading up on idea no. 16, which is,
implementing support for the proposed standard for
incrementally parseable GeoJSON data.<br>
<br>
</div>
Also, I was thinking that maybe I could work on ticket
no 6294, <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6294" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6294</a><br>
</div>
after I've studied about the GSoC idea, which is not
really a bug, but an enhancement. But if there are any
other tickets that you or anyone else would like to
recommend me to work on, I'd love to see them too!<br>
</div>

I think this rather arguing ticket as the bool is not exist in plain
C, and duplication functions seems to me not good idea.<br>
I think this ticket <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6185" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/6185</a>
is good for: 1. building GDAL, 2. Testing via TraviC on GitHub. By
the way the libpng version is 1.6.21 or maybe higher.<br>
<br>
Anyhow, you have to try to build gdal and test it with autotests
from <span lang="en"><span>appropriate</span></span> folder.

Now, about the GSoC idea, do I need to know JSON( or
GeoJSON, for that matter) to work on it? I only ask because
the idea lists C/C++ as the required skills, but I feel that
maybe this work would involve knowing JSON too...<br>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote></span>
Yes, certainly. But JSON are very simple. Also GeoJSON spec. can be
found here <a href="http://geojson.org/" target="_blank">http://geojson.org/</a>Thanks and
regards,<div><div class="h5"><br>

<br>
I'll look for opened tickets for you, or maybe others can
recommend some for you.<br>
<br>
By the way, do you see the idea list (<a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode#a2016IdeasList" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode#a2016IdeasList" target="_blank">https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/SummerOfCode#a2016IdeasList</a>)?
<br>
The ideas are not ranked yet - the numbers in the list -
are only in order. <br>
This is a task for us to rank the ideas. <br>
But, have you some preferable idea (or ideas) for GSoC
from this list or maybe you have got own?<br>

<div>Hello,<br>
</div>
I am interested in applying for GSoC this
year. Currently, I am reading up on the GDAL
Summer of Code ideas list. I know C++ and C,
and I have some experience on working on
linux.<br>
</div>
Could the mentors please recommend a bug for
me to work on, I'd really love to start off as
soon as possible!<br>
<br>
</div>
Thank you,<br>
