Hi Ashvini!

The coding projects that we have already identified for this round of
OPW are here: https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2013/Projects (We
use the same page for GSoC and OPW coding projects since they follow
the same criteria.)

I see that there is one project that sounds like it's probably a good
fit (requires C/C++ knowledge):

https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2013/Projects#MIPS_N32.2FN64_ABI_port

Please don't hesitate to follow up if you have any questions.

-Brian

P.S. - I am one of the coordinators for OPW this year.
