Hi Kornel,
My goal is to assess the initial interest in such an GSoC proposal idea before preparing and posting a more detailed description.
This is very nice to hear. We (Bruno Lalande and I) are creating a generic geometry library (ggl), which is 2D/3D and could be used for geometry / gis, but also for games. I've more the GIS approach. Bruno has more the generic geometry / game approach.
It would be interesting to work this out further. If you are interested you can contact us via the list or off-list.
If Kornel's GSoC proposal ends up being geared towards extending ggl 3D functionality (which I think would be great), perhaps you and Bruno Lalande could serve as co-mentors for the project? I think something similar was done in the past with Mariano Gabriel Consoni working on Jeremy Pack's Extension / Reflection library - the official Boost mentor was Hartmut Kaiser but Jeremy was also involved in some capacity. Best, Stjepan
