[BGL] Contribute to the Boost Graph Library
Hi all, I used BGL for around 6 months for my thesis (write a routing algorithm). I highly appreciate the BGL and I'm glad someone did it and generously gives their time to maintain/improve it. So now I would like to contribute to the development of the library and so give back something. Just a brief introduction to my profile: - a bachelor and a master in Computer Engineering - six months of experience using the BGL - good knowledge of C++ - great wish to improve my programming skills and master generic programming technique Can you please indicate me the steps I should do to start to actively help the development process? Thanks Camillo Anania

What do you want to do to help? We are always happy to accept code contributions, and we will work with you to do code reviews and such to get code ready to commit. Are there any particular algorithms for data structures you are interested in working on? There are some project lists at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/GraphVersion2 and https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2010#Boost.Graph, but do not feel limited to those. -- Jeremiah Willcock

It might also be worth noting that if you were a full-time student this past year, and have a good amount of free time over the summer, you are eligible for Google Summer of Code. If you're eligible, available, and interested, we might be able to provide some additional summer funding for a BGL-related project. http://code.google.com/soc/ https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2011 Andrew Sutton
Hi guys, sorry for the quiet long absence but I was very busy at work. Now I think it's time to start and I have also some free time to dedicate to the Graph library. I studied the links you provided me and the current documentation to understand what was done in the meanwhile and what still remain only ideas. Correct me if I'm wrong but from the GSoc2010 proposed ideas I didnt see anything completed. From that list I found quiet interesting these subjects: - Topology Generators - Graph Connectives What do you think about it? Can you give me some links with materials I can study to get in the programming metodology used for the Boost Graph? Thank you very much. Camillo 2011/2/22 Andrew Sutton <asutton.list@gmail.com>

It would be good to have those things. The best resources would probably be the BGL book, as well as books like "Generic Programming and the STL" (which is on generic programming in general). Otherwise, you'd probably need to just look at the BGL code and documentation and the papers on BGL and GGCL (from the 1998-2000 time frame, mostly). -- Jeremiah Willcock
