Hi Hrithik,

Maybe you have already seen the following links, but if not, they could
be useful:

 - http://www.mlpack.org/involved.html
 - http://www.mlpack.org/gsoc.html
 - https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

For the deep learning modules project, some work has been done updating
Kris's PRs.  But there are also some other PRs (from a different but
related project) that you might consider looking into, such as #1048,
#1061, #1072.  I think that nobody is currently working on finishing
these, so I think if you wanted to step in and try and handle the last
few things, we could get them merged.

Have you taken a look at the mailing list archives, also?

http://knife.lugatgt.org/pipermail/mlpack/

You can search through there (I think gmane archives the list too for
easier searching) and there may be lots of useful information or
questions that have been answered from previous years.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Ryan
