Sorry we missed your question on IRC. It's fine to ask questions on<br>
IRC, but you need to be prepared to stay connected a bit longer.<br>

Yes, we really want students to work through the process of making a<br>
change to the code, submitting a patch for it, and working through the<br>
review process.<br>
<br>
It can be a first step towards the project (in this case you could look<br>
at addressing a simple case of one of the optimisations for example), or<br>
just some small change unconnected to the project. There are some links<br>
to suggested smaller projects in our GSoC Guide:<br>
