GSoC 2025 - Questions about Spatial Modeling Project

[nagendra-develop]

Hi PyMC mentors,

I am Nagendra Saini, and I am interested in contributing to the Spatial Modeling project for GSoC 2025.
I have experience with Python and am currently learning Bayesian statistics.

I have a few questions to better understand the project scope:

1. What are the key challenges this project aims to solve?
2. What prior knowledge or skills would be helpful for this project?
3. How can I start contributing to PyMC before submitting my proposal?

Since the proposal submission starts on March 24, I want to ensure my proposal aligns well with the project goals.
Could you provide insights on what aspects you would like to see covered in the proposal?

Looking forward to your guidance and suggestions.

Thanks,
Nagendra Saini
