Today starts Google Summer of Code. Is Boost community will become one of the mentoring organizations?
What project ideas are we proposing? (As for me, I'd love to see unique_ptr+unique_array implemented using Boost.Move; C++11 features support for MPL, Fusion, Graph, Bind, Optional; BTree library; library for getting system info)
Andrew was the GSoC administrator for Boost in the previous years but unfortunately has no time this year. So I jump in. I just created the Wiki page <https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2013> and will send around another email in the coming days. For now I encourage everyone to brainstorm just like Antony did about what you would like to see in Boost. Google didn't invite us last year to participate in the program, and the reason was that we didn't have enough ideas/projects. So feel free to send ideas to this mailing list or add them to the Wiki page. For now no idea is too stupid - and even if it is, it might help someone else to get a good idea. :)
We don't have to volunteer to implement any of these ideas right? :)
- Hardware graphics (OpenGL/OpenGL|ES/DirectX abstraction) - Audio library (OpenAL/FMOD/etc) - GUI library - Input library (like DirectInput/XInput) - Reliable UDP ontop of asio (maybe UDT?) - fixed-point math library (binary scaling) - spatial indexes (previous gsoc don't know it's status) - extension library (previous gsoc don't know it's status) - rating system algorithms (elo/TrueSkill) - std::packaged_task scheduler (like tbb's, with task stealing)
FWIW, something like this is already part of the HPX library (https://github.com/STEllAR-GROUP/hpx/). Regards Hartmut --------------- http://boost-spirit.com http://stellar.cct.lsu.edu
- geometry library (convince the developers to submit eigen3 to boost) - physics library (ODE/Havok/PhysX/etc abstraction) - json parsing libary - relational database library (what ever happened with boost and soci?) - document database library (couchdb/mongodb/etc) - memcache library (seems to already be a boosty one written by Dean Michael Berris) - expected<T> (http://tinyurl.com/clv3bsj) - approximate string matching - trie data structure - b-tree data structure - radix sort - filesystem abstraction + path cleanup (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel/238103)
