What do you think about these? Vicente? Anyone else?
I don't know if Google accepts dual mentors. If not, you could mentor this project that is very close to the domain you are working with Boost.Multiprecission. I would be happy to help as much as possible. Please be free to add you name as possible mentor.
Thanks, Vicente. I'll think about it. I am aware of a young programmer
we recently worked with who would be technically capable of going
far in this project.
But I don't know if I should mentor two projects. I might not have
enough time for that.
I'll let you know soon.
Cheers, Chris.

As part of filling in our application for 2014, we must supply to Google a list of potential GSoC mentors and potential GSoC projects for summer 2014. We do NOT want a repeat of 2012 when our application was rejected due to an insufficiently long list of prospective mentors and projects! Thanks for the reminder Niall and Boris, and for cultivating intrerest here.
I was thinking of two ideas to improve the clarity and robustness of our project list.
1) Remove the question marks (?) from the potential projects and move most of these to the "ideas" section. I will try to do it today.
2) I could potentially offer to participate as dual-mentor with Vicente on the fixed-point class. Boost really needs to make progress here. And we can still decline to do the project unless the realy, really, really, super candidate knocks on the door. I recall that we failed to find the *right* candidate for this challenging project last year.
