Might Boost be interested in becoming a "mentoring organization"? That would allow a student to get a summer stipend from Google to write code to contribute to boost. I'd guess that we probably have a few student programmers on the list who have already demonstrated their capabilities and enthusiasm. If so, see below. The deadline is June 14.
The stipend is paid only upon successful completion of the project. What would count as the successful completion in this case? Acceptance into Boost? Obviously this can't be guaranteed in advance.
For what I readed in the FAQ, the mentoring organization doesnt have to really use the code for it to be a "successful completion", so boost could sign as completed without being enough to acceptance.
Maybe the Windows installer would be a good project for this program.
I agree with you it would be a nice project for this. But what exactly you mean? a binary distribution or a installer that would compile everything? I think the problem is to know what people that never knew about boost thinks about.
