There is no such thing as the perfect matrix class. Also, there is no such thing as the perfect fixed size matrix class. Matrices are great generalization in mathematics; for programming, you need to start with the intended application.
I could do nothing but agree with Emil. matrix is one of the abstraction which inner complexity is the most underestiamted. Took me a PHd and a half to get something decent in a generic-enough way (types support, policies, performances optimisations , etc) for exactly that. I think that something akin to a multi-dimensional boost::array is already aplenty for the 3 months of GSoC and may provide valuable outcome.
