My name is Augustus Odena. I'm really interested in a few of the project ideas that Boost has listed for Google Summer of Code (Heaps and Queues, Bits and Ints, Graph Connectives and Topology Generators). It was suggested to me by the Hints Page that I should join the mailing list - so I've done that. I'd really appreciate it if, whenever someone had the time, they could perhaps fill me in a little bit more on the details behind those projects and their relative merits. I'd be happy to provide any sort of information about myself that would be helpful.
Hi Augustus, I'd be happy to answer specific questions if you have any. For the Heaps and Queues project you might want to look at the boost/pending directory and in the sandbox libs/pri_queue (IIRC). The BGL projects require a pretty good working knowledge of the BGL and its concepts. It looks like the Bits and Ints project may actually be two different projects--one working with compact data representations and the other building a library for integer programming.
