I particularly agree too since CGAL apparently didn’t apply or wasn’t selected 
this year.  However, if your interest is computational geometry, there’s a 
variety of other topics you could propose that would be of interest.

That’s a really complicated topic to get into without prior experience with 
NURBS.  I provided references a couple days ago to someone else if you want to 
look at the mailing list archives.  Basically, you’re projecting complex 
surfaces and curves to 2D, and writing them out in some vector format.  
Figuring out how and doing the projection is the work.

Cheers!
