GSoC 2015 Slider rewrite

GSoC 2015 Slider rewrite

I am interested in writing various widgets and I had an experience in creating popup window, combobox, and grid. I like the idea of rewriting JQuery UI slider. I want to write a prototype for this to understand how to develop a JQuery plugin. I found description on slider on following web page: thttp:// wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/12138059/Slider  and I would like to ask whether these requirements are still valid? Moreover, whom I should contact to discuss the idea?
