Repository for GSoC project

[Vighnesh Birodkar]

Hello 

Correct me if I am wrong here, but I remember a discussion where someone 
said ndimage module is divided into ~6 files ? How about we rewrite one 
file at a time ?
Also, I'd like Jaime to look at this : 
https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/1510

Does this partly overlap with Aman's project ?

Thanks
Vighnesh
