There are many ways you could contribute. So many it's impossible to tell you what to do exactly. In every library there are bugs to fix and documentation to improve. In most of the cases you could propose to add some new feature. Some libraries are well established so the development is mostly maintenence others are younger so many new features are developed. I advise you to learn about various libraries, think which one you find interesting. Then you can go further from that point, decide to fix bugs to help and learn about the library, propose some new feature if you happen to think about one or ask if the developers already have some ideas about new features but lack free time to implement them. If you're thinking about contrinution during Gsoc I think it's reasonable to assume that the libraries involved in Gsoc18 will also be involved in Gsoc19, assuming Boost gets involved. However if you choose to contribute to different library you'll probably find a mentor too. Adam
I have just finished GSOC 2018 contributing to Boost.uBLAS. I agree with Adam. There is no Boost GSOC 2019 Wiki yet. However, you could start reading https://github.com/boostorg/boost/wiki/Boost-Google-Summer-of-Code-2018 and https://google.github.io/gsocguides/student/ in order to understand the requirements for being accepted and the process. Also have a look at https://github.com/BoostGSoC18 how previous GSOC students have implemented their projects and organized themselves. I think there will be something similar for GSOC 2019.

In addition to this you can also visit boost organization on GSoC site[1]. Here you can find Code submision links. This links will be helpful because all the students have written blogs about what they have done and what can be done in future it will make things easy for you to understand and

Wow, not yet. GSoc 2018 just finished. Let's celebrate our excellent students, have some rest, wait for the summer to come (at least in my part of the world) and for the winter to pass for the other part of the world. Then I'll update the wiki and start thinking about GSOC'19. And let's update Boost.uBlas with all the new and old code we need to push. :-D David
