GSOC2013 ClassPath, Port The GTK+ AWT to Gtk+3

Hi,
I am currently a fourth year computer science student at Carleton University
(Ottawa, Ontario, Canada).
I am applying for GSOC 2013 as a student and am searching for projects to
try and build proposals for. This is my first time applying thus I dont
really have much of an idea on where to start. I am specifically interested
in porting the Gtk+ AWT support to Gtk+3. I have working knowledge of C and
have used it for many different academic purposes (assignments, projects,
etc etc). I would like to know what other tools should i try to familiarize
myself with before trying to apply for this project, any starting pointers
would be wonderful, and if there are any bug fixes / patches related to this
project idea I could try my hand at to familiarize myself with the code
base.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Farshad

My suggestion would be to checkout GNU Classpath and make sure you can
build it on your machine, as a first task. The git repository is:

Checkout: $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/classpath.git
Web Interface: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/classpath.git/
Savannah Project: https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/classpath/

There's a step-by-step guide on the Gtk+ conversion at:

Please feel free to mail me if you have further questions.

Thanks,
