Hi Bhushan,

You are of course welcome to contribute to mlpack.  Lots of words have
been written about the tree types project in the mailing list, including
this recent thread:

https://mailman.cc.gatech.edu/pipermail/mlpack/2015-April/000635.html

You can also search the archives for other threads.

Right now Rohit said that he is working on a quadtree implementation, so
perhaps you could pick another type of tree?  We currently have kd
trees, ball trees, cover trees, R trees, X trees, and R+ trees, but
there are many other types of trees you might implement.  PCA trees
might be interesting.

Let me know if I can clarify anything.

Thanks,

Ryan
