I'm new to this community. My name is Rui Gonçalves and I'm thinking about submitting an application to Boost in Google Summer of Code.
Hi Rui, I already looked in books for some more obscure details of each
algorithm, and haven't found anything excessively difficult. This seems a rather simple project (although I recognize it can take some time). Is there some convention or requirements for data structures in Boost? Is there any difficulty that I should be aware of but didn't notice, or any detail about GSoC that I should know? (I'm new to that program and I feel kind of lost).
This project is definitely more time consuming than difficult, although getting the interfaces "just right" can be quite challenging. Boost doesn't really have any conventions beyond what's posted here [1]. If you haven't already, you might look here [2] for hints on writing good proposals.
