I've updated the wiki:

http://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016#Multi-threaded_TCG_Projects

Could you please have a read through and then we can arrange a meeting
(IRC or Video Call) and talk through the problem. I'll talk to Stefan
about what steps would be needed if the project was accepted.

I've added a Further Reading section which should give you enough to go
through for now ;-)
