I am a Computer Science student hoping to contribute to Boost for this year's summer of code. I had a few questions regarding the BGL project idea (https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2010#Boost.Graph) for SOC 2010.
1. I can think of only a few places where the suggested algorithms will be used. Does the community think that these algorithms are used frequently enough to put them in a library? How important does the community consider this project?
A topology-generating and testing functions can be used for testing, among other things. The connectives are intended to make the BGL a little more algebraically complete. Basically, we're just looking to make the BGL a little more feature complete. 2. Will the project proposal be expected to include the API design? The project necessitates API design :) You would be working on a library. Andrew Sutton andrew.n.sutton@gmail.com
