Well then, I guess that we consider the micro-tasks which I evoked in
my previous message: Clone the repository and build the code.
This is explained in more details here:
    http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-rng/developers.html

Please try it, and then let us know how it went.

If we are going to advance in the discussion, you'll have to spell out
what you don't understand in the task description here:
    https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RNG-32

Here is a document which you should read if not done already:

Please note that there are several "roles" in the GSoC program; on this
ML, you'll only get technical help with specific programming tasks.  But
it seems (?) that you need more general help from the administrative side.

Also, you should have a look at other tasks which you help with in the
"Commons" project (of which "Commons RNG" is a tiny part).
Some of these other tasks may look less daunting to you.  And nothing
will prevent you from contributing to "Commons RNG" too when you'll
feel more comfortable with the expectations.

OK.  But that is certainly not a requirement; usage is pretty
straightforward in the context of this project, and most of the
"magic" is handled by the configuration file(s) shipped with the
project's code.  At this point, you should be fine with running
this command (from within the directory where you "clone"d the
"git" repository):
    $ mvn package
