I think the old idea of a boost::devector container would be a very use contribution. It's a bit like std::deque, but with much more control over the buffers. It should be described in one of the old GSOC pages.
Sounds like a great student project. However, the format for project ideas has been significantly tightened recently and so therefore the scope for copying old GSoC ideas reduced. In particular, ideas ought to have a programming competency test written with someone willing to mark it (usually the volunteer mentor(s)).
So each proposal needs a seperate competency test?
We also need someone to step forward and volunteer to mentor such a project. Would you?
I can do that, although the time difference, if it's a US student, can give problems. It all depends on the student I guess. regards -Thorsten
