[SoC] project idea - implementing shortest path graph and stepping stone graph

[Sameera Kannangara]

Dear Rajat,

Thank you for your email with clear instructions. The project I'm
interested in contributing to is GeoTools. Its in the list [2] in your
email. I have sent an email to GeoTools projects developer group mentioning
my project idea.

Best regards,
Sameera
