Hi,
I am a user of Gephi and wanna contribute to it by participating in GSoC 2013.
As a 3rd year Ph.D student interested in Social Network Analytic at Syracuse University,
I believe Gephi would be more adopted by the research community working in this area
if we can further enhance it by implementing several clustering algorithms and graph search mechanisms.
I took Data Mining, Statistics, Social Media Mining and Software Model and Metrics courses and used NetworkX before.
I found some popular functionality of that python package are missing in Gephi and can be implemented in Java.
As a Teaching Assistant of programming language course, I teach Java and comfortable with Eclipse and NetBeans.
I checked out developer's code for Gephi from Git and after successfully building it, now trying to fix some reported bugs.
As a Graduate Student I have several publications where I tried using Gephi and found it not very supportive in following:
detection of triangle counts, K mean clusterings, Pearson's correlation and Euclidean Distance related computations --
which are some high demanding methods from Social Network Science research community.
I think Gephi is a very good tool for graph visualization, and augmentation of more effective feature would make it more adorable.
Before joining academia, I was a SQA in a US outsource software company and have few years experience in white box testing
So I can also contribute testing the existing statistical modules, metrics and algorithms.
I am not sure whoever should I communicate for a potential mentor,
but I was looking into some work of Julian Bilcke and Patrick McSweeny seems very interesting!
