[boost] [library process] should we more actively pursue university thesis projects?

Dear all, Following our discussion of the unicode library, would it not be a good idea to persue such efforts more aggresively? I could imagine it would help bring forward libraries much faster. I think it would be reasonable that the boost comunity provided 1. project descriptions 2. help and guidelines throughout the 6-12 months of the project If we had small papers explaining potential projects, these can be sent to universities which can the in turn suggest them to their students. Off the top of my head, I can think of these projects 1. C++ database library 2. C++ statistics library 3. exact reals class 4. An XML parser and generator library I could probably be a co-author and contact person of (2). Any thoughts? -Thorsten
