If you want to know more about mentoring a Google Summer of Code funded student work before you nominate yourself, please feel free to ask on the main Boost developers mailing list boost@lists.boost.org. Thank you in advance for your time.
Niall, I'd be happy to help with mentoring one student if the topic fits.
Do any of the work items listed on https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2014 interest you? For those that do, if you could add your name as a "potential mentor" under their description that would be great.
If none suit you, would you have a GSoC project proposal to mind?
I'd be happy to mentor any of the projects related to parallelism or concurrency. Regards Hartmut --------------- http://boost-spirit.com http://stellar.cct.lsu.edu
