Greetings Everyone!  
I am Chetan Karwa, working on the GSoC project on implementing [Linked List in stdlib of Fortran-lang](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/projects/#5923650869395456).  
This post marks the start of my GSoC Project. (I know I am a little late)  
I would like to keep everyone updated about my progress on the project with a weekly report.  
This project would be in its best shape with community’s feedback and ideas.  
I had already implemented a basic linked list ([link](https://github.com/ChetanKarwa/Fortran-Linked-List)).

The tasks that I have in my mind for this week are:

- Knowing what are the most common APIs present in other language’s standard library.
- Making a homogenous generic linked list.
- Run an experimental project using the homogenous generic linked list whose results will give us a basic idea of execution time taken to make and traverse a list with 100 nodes to 1000000 nodes.
