Hi Thom,
I was wondering if you could guide me a little on the area I'd like to work on for me to have a quicker start?

Hi Thom,
Glad to see your response. I apologize for the delay in response due to some official work.

Yes, as I said, I'm working on the sorting enhancements, I would like to propose enhancing the sorting using parallel architectures, specifically CUDA. I've been doing some research on this and I think it is very much possible. As Postgres has capabilities to handle massive number of elements and sorting is an important component in order by queries.

I saw the wiki but the ideas stated there are very vague in sense, only a few have details, any plans to add more details and skills to the titles?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Thanks and Regards,Hitesh Ramani
