As far as I can gather, the Geometry library involves heavy use of template metaprogramming and a lot of math. Could you be more specific on your expectations from students hoping to take up this library for GSoC? Also, as stated by Mr Glyn Matthews on another thread, the cpp-netlib project (http://cpp-netlib.sourceforge.net) for implementation of clients for handling various protocols like HTTP and ESMTP using Boost.Asio has been lying dormant for quite a while. Would porting the incremental HTTP parser from the Pion library and implementation of ESMTP be sufficient work for a GSoC project and would any of the experienced boost developers be willing to mentor such an effort?
