It sounds a good idea to me. Would you like to propose a project and be a mentor? It would be great!

Hi Boost community,
so far we received a few good contributions for projects for GSoC 2020. The proposals are from our usual mentors but I'm surprised we don't have more projects in data structures and algorithms. Most of what we have concern numerical problems. It's great but I wish to see more diversity in the type of projects we propose.
Maybe the suggestions put forward do solicit few 'other' proposals. For containers, f.e. there are many 'entertaining' and useful things to consider, segment tree, spaghetti stack, trie, binary index tree, beap, kd-tree, bkd-tree, disjoint-set, n-ary tree, etc etc, etc. https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/advanced-data-structures/ presents many different data structures, there also a section on algos.

Hi, My name is Dimitris. I have implemented several advanced algorithms and data structures in the past, so I would be quite interested in the project (perhaps even outside GSOC). Is there a mentor available for this? Kind regards, Dimitris -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

You are late, but perhaps not too late. But you seem to have no idea which Boost library to contribute to and which Boost GSoC project you want to develop. So, you need to hurry up! Dive into this https://lists.boost.org/boost-users/2020/02/90268.php and read *all* references there, all of it. Next, read all material here https://github.com/boostorg/wiki/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code%3A-Overview Then, find which Boost library (project) you want to contribute https://github.com/boostorg/wiki/wiki/Google-Summer-of-Code%3A-2020 Get in touch/discuss with potential mentors. I suggest via the mailing list, here or library specific (https://lists.boost.org/), instead of privately as we are an open source project, after all. Finally, work on your - project proposal - competency test solution - submit both according to the official GSoC guidelines Good luck! Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

I admire your efforts, imo these kind of submissions already fail a major [maybe the most important one] competency test, that is to do independent research. degski -- @systemdeg "We value your privacy, click here!"

I have already looked at these resources, have completed the competency test for the multiprecision project and drafted a proposal for that project. My question was as to whether someone is interested in mentoring the data structure project, originally mentioned by degski (but which is not included in the official list). I have several ideas for implementing data-structures, some of which will be useful for practical algorithms (e.g. meldable heaps in Chu-Liu-Edmonds' for directed MST - for which I have a sample implementation). -- Sent from: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/Boost-Dev-f2600599.html

I wrote to David Bellot about that [off-list], but I had no answer. degski -- @systemdeg "We value your privacy, click here!"

You must be clear on which Boost library you are going to propose such a project to. Then, you should get in touch with the maintainers of that particular library, e.g. by posting here and including [library name] tag first in the subject. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

I don't disagree. I've been a bad cop too often though. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
