Re: [boost] [C++-sig] [Python] GSoC and Python 3.0 Support

I would say that any GSoC project should choose *one* of the above rather than try combining them. Better to do one thing well and in stages than many things at once (unless you have loads of spare time!).
I agree. (I wouldn't mind seeing projects for all of the above, but they definitely shouldn't be combined into one.)
Thanks! Seems there's a lot of interesting. So would anyone willing to mentor this?
Sadly, I suspect that finding a mentor will be difficult (perhaps even more difficult than the actual project). Off the top of my head, the following folks come to mind: - Dave Abrahams - Stefan Seefeld - Ralf Grosse-Kunstleve - Roman Yakovenko You might try contacting them off list or on c++-sig (cc'ed on this email).
I'm willing to participate, in particular, if other folks such as David are part of such a team, too. (While I believe I understand enough of both C++ and Python, lots of boost.python is still very obscure, so having David being part would greatly help. May be we could take the opportunity and collectively work on the (internal) boost.python docs, too. David, I notice you already indicated support. Could we team up for this ? (I will be out on vacation for about two weeks during the summer. Other than that I should be available throughout the summer.) Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...

Would it make sense if Dave acted as second as in "person we fall back upon if the primaries can't figure it out?" Mentoring would cost any of us at least five hours per week, and definitely more than that some weeks and less other weeks. I'm just very lucky that this summer I have that kind of time spare for the first time in years. Cheers, Niall

That would make plenty of sense to me. I'd be very happy to have others leading the mentoring effort. But we may have missed the GSoC application deadline by now. I'm not sure whether anyone signed us up. -- David Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://boostpro.com

Troy and me did. No response from Google yet, though. Regards Hartmut

I believe we are on track. And I agree, too: It might be wise if people like Niall and myself did the official mentoring, while being able to relay questions we can't answer on our own to David. This could become a productive summer for boost.python ! Thanks, Stefan -- ...ich hab' noch einen Koffer in Berlin...

Hi, I'm very happy to see so much interest in this project. You are all experts on Boost.Python so I'd glad to see anyone of you to mentor this. I'm looking forward for this summer! I'll post more questions and proposals etc. to Python c++-sig mailling list, since that is focused on Boost.Python. Thanks! -- Haoyu Bai
