Okay. > Based on the above, I am thinking of working on anyone of the following : > celestial mechanics particle system, non-vacuum gravity simulator, These are interesting if your experience with Bullet is strong, you come up with a good understanding of our code, and propose an interesting objective. Otherwise, they are more of a priority for SOCIS (which we will likely apply to participate in again if you are eligible). > vector drawings from nurbs, This is the highest priority in general (of those you listed), but also the hardest. If you don’t already have a background in NURBS, I would not suggest proposing it. > plate modelling nurbs raytracing, This is probably the second highest priority and considerably easier, but requires deeper understanding of our librt code (especially the existing BoT plate-mode code). > point clouds Ditto this one only being interesting if you have prior experience and a solid interesting objective. > and nmg editing. Definitely interesting but definitely the most work too — not hard, but a LOT of work and radial edge is complicated to understand. > Can someone help me in finalizing a single project idea? (depending upon > priority of the above mentioned project ideas as seen by the community) The best project idea is the one you understand the most and can make the most interesting and useful progress, no matter what our priorities are.
