I thougth about repository so I think it is a big job and would be better
to be maintained by a community member. I digged into remaining subjects. I
think the other parts can be done. Also I am very fimiliar with LAMP stack.
I can build and write code for LAMP stack. Firstly as you recommended I
start with LAMP stack and its prerequisites.

understand the point with your help. I want to get fimiliar with code and
try to fork it. Can you recommend me a starting point for this? Is there
any task for me to complete any task to improve my chance to be selected
for GSOC?
Thanks,
