Dear sir,
>>But first things first: Have you set up a programming environment for
making your experiments?
I have IntelliJ IDEA community edition along with Netbeans 8.2 with Java 8u191
installed.
For repository purposes, I’m using Github Desktop. Any other software I should
install for this undertaking ?
>>Again, please be more specific about what you are missing

I wanted to know about any and all micro tasks/screening tests I should undergo
before preparing and submitting my draft proposal for the project on 25th.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Abhishek

Thanks for your interest, but let's not exaggerate the impact of
completing that task. ;-)

I'm afraid that would be part of your work. ;-)
But don't hesitate to ask more specific questions if you are at a
loss with how to go about the more general task described here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-32

Overall, the task consists in providing a Java implementation of the
generator(s).

This mailing list will try to help you with the coding side of things
but for administrative and other questions of the purpose of GSoC,
you should start by reading and following the guidelines:

The framework for achieving this task is explained in the userguide[1]
and Javadoc[1] of the "Commons RNG" project.
For a specific generator, the first thing would be to search for a reference
implementation (probably in C or C++), and be able to run it.

There are links in the Wikipedia page that are worth exploring.
But first things first: Have you set up a programming environment for
making your experiments?

I hope I have been of some help,
