Hi Justin,
I'd like to work preferably in C or Python. BTW apart from Java, language is not a barrier for me if the problem being encountered is challenging.
Also I won't say I'm very good at maths, but I'm quite comfortable with pursuing any topic that might be relevant to the project.
Please do refer me to any relevant topics that I should look at.
Regards
Vipul Nayyar

As a first thought before recommending stuff, which programming languages do
you have a good understanding of (and like to use)?
That will help figure things out. Also, how good are your math skills? If
they're very strong, then some of the clustering algorithm stuff might be
the thing to look at. :)

You're fine. It's not abuse of the mailing list at all. :)
