Thanks for contacting us here! Any help is appreciated, there is a lot 
things that can be done. Do you have some ideas, plans, what would you 
like to do? Do you prefer working on the R-tree or other parts of the 
library? If the R-tree is your preference, would you like to propose 
some addition related to your master thesis or implement some other 
things like serialization, (persistent) storage, additional balancing or 
packing algorithm, etc. ? Or would you prefer helping us with improving 
the "main" part of the library e.g. by adding the missing support for 
non-carteian coordinate systems or improving the support for 3D 
cartesian, etc. ? Or would you like to start from learning about the 
internals e.g. by fixing some bugs?

Regards,
Adam
