Did you have a specific mentor in mind for this proposal?
Not yet.
I ask, because a strong proposal - which you already have now - also needs a proposed mentor to gain GSoC funding.
GSoC gives a certain degree of freedom for each organization and the "rules" aren't general to all projects. I'm not used to boost GSoC "rules". I thought that this was a valid proposal, because the "Ideas/GSoC" page on the boost wiki mentioned the "Protocol implementations for Boost.Asio" item. I didn't noticed such warnings on the other pages (submission template, hints) also. Now that you mentioned such need to have a proposed mentor earlier than I expected, I became a little more worried.
Moreover, that proposed mentor can help you whittle your current proposal into a suitable summer project work item, and I'd like to match you up as soon as possible.
If it's not a problem for you, I'd like to have your help in whittle my proposal. I just want to finish the descriptions/designs of a usable core set of components before the decision of a timeline and deliverables. Do you think it's a good idea? -- Vinícius dos Santos Oliveira https://about.me/vinipsmaker
