Interested in contributing to PostgreSQL through GSoC 2013

Hi !

I'm Anirudh V Raja doing my 2nd year Engineering in NITK, India. I would
like to contribute to PostgreSQL through a project in GSoC 2013 .

First up, I would like to say , I'm a big fan of SQL and especially
PostgreSQL ever since I used it in my J2EE project. Thanks a ton for giving
such an amazing sopen source database !

I went through the development wiki and the discussion that has taken place
on the mailing list so far. Very happy to see lot of good ideas coming
up.Looking forward to that :)

I am interested in Mr. David Fetter's idea about - Returning to DDL . I
sent him a mail conveying my interest and ideas. He advised me to continue
the conversation on the mailing list . So, Mr. David Fetter , could you
please describe the project in a little more detailed manner. It would be
easier for me to comprehend the idea and formulate a better picture and
understanding .

Also, I had an informal chat with Mr. Atri Sharma who helped me out ,
getting familiar to Open Source, setting up PostgreSQL source code on my PC
and also suggesting a few possible project ideas . I liked the idea of
implementing a few MADLib's into PostgreSQL . I was particularly interested
in Random Sampling , Probability , Most Frequent Functions and array
operations . I just went through their wiki and feel these functions could
be beneficial to the users . However, I'd like to receive help on its
feasibility , the nature of coding required and the idea of implementing
these libraries as a whole.

Kindly guide me regarding the two above ideas.

Regards,
