Hello,
I am Nadeem Anjum, a third year bachelor's student of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Kharagpur.
I am really interested in becoming a part of MediaWiki for GSoC 2013. I have browsed through the project ideas and got interested in Automatic Category Redirects.
Hello Nadeem!

You can ask / comment in the related bug report
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3311
And you can start drafting your project proposal in your mediawiki.org user page, making sure all your skills etc are also listed there.
We are still weeks away from the student applications phase, but starting with your proposal now will definitely help you and give you more chances.
Thank you for your interest and good luck!
