Hi Eli, Thanks for your response... and if your able to reach out to potential candidates this would be excellent.
I am working as PostDoc at Stanford so will be looking for students from there as well. I will keep this thread alive and would very much appreciate if you (and others) are able to update it as well. Giraph currently has no GSoC proposal, Nutch does. You can see all proposals here (0). I am tempted to log the issue right now. It would be excellent if we could contribute something to both Giraph and Nutch here. Does anyone have an issue with me logging a Jira in Giraph?
