We'll need to submit a request and such:
http://code.google.com/soc/mentorfaq.html So... I'm curious. Are you going to do it? :-)
Personally I'm thinking I would be smart not to take on another project. I have a cronic habit of getting over-booked (is there a 12 step program for this problem ;-)
Yes, but by the 6th step you can't afford to pay the assistants ;-)
-- anyway, I'm hoping we will be able to support a number of projects. Actually, I'm a little suprised there hasn't been more response to your post. I'm starting a discussion amoungst the moderators about how we want to organize to take this on.
I'm putting together a list of Boost.Build related projects that I would be willing to mentor. So if you want you can include me in that discussion :-)
Is this list what somebody (you?) put in the wiki? It'd be interesting to see who is available to mentor each item. Anyway, the "Configure" Boost.Build project caught my eye. Which could be the requirements for such a tool? I expect it'd need to run natively under Windows and Unix-based systems, right? Which language would it need to be written in? Maybe C++ is the obvious answer, but then there is a "bootstrapping" problem (you might need to configure the tool to build the tool successfully). Just saying this because it'd be good to have as much details as possible for each proposed project. And... would someone be willing to mentor a Boost.Process library? :-) Cheers, -- Julio M.
