[mlpack] GSoC project idea

[Andrew Wells]

     Hi all, I'm Andrew Wells, I am in the process of applying to work 
on mlpack for Google Summer of Code, and I wanted to introduce myself.  
I'm hoping to work on optimization of the tree traversal code in mlpack, 
as this seems to be the area where I have the most previous experience.  
I was wondering if you could give me some more information about this 
project.  Also, I think it would be helpful for me to first submit 
another tree, say an R*-tree, to the mlpack code base to familiarize 
myself with it.  Am I free to combine project proposals like that?  
Thanks for your time and I hope to work with you over the summer.
