Hi,
I am Varad Deshmukh, a Master's student at UCSB majoring in Computer 
Science. My research interests are in Scientific Computing and HPC, and 
I am interested in contributing to GSL. I recently took up a course in 
numerical simulation and I figured a good way to start would be looking 
into ODE solvers.

The TODO list mentions work to be done for adding other stepper
methods - especially the BDF methods for DAE's implemented in DASSL and 
DASPK. Could you please elaborate more on which new methods you want to 
focus on? I have been reading the code for the Runge-Kutta methods - the 
driver, evolve and control formats - and have a rough idea about the design.

It would be great if I could get some help regarding GSL development in 
general and ode-initval2 in particular. If you feel that I should work 
with smaller bugs and fix them before going into a new implementation, I 
would like to hear suggestions.

Thank you,
Varad.
