[SciPy-dev] GSOC project discussion on improving datasource and its integration.

I am masters students in data engineering and interested in contributing to scipy. I need some directions to how to start with it. I know python and have worked on projects including data mining , web mining and web crawlers etc. I want to contribute to scipy by improving datasource and its integrations like handling malformed URLs, proxy settings , other file extensions support. http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/wiki/SummerofCodeIdeas http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy/browser/trunk/numpy/lib/_datasource.py Thank You.
