Adam - we don't seem to have many JIRA marked GSoC2017.
I have signed up as a mentor because it has to happen now if at all.
I've marked JIRA I *might* mentor for: GeoSPARQL (JENA-664),
Fuseki+transactions (JENA-700).
Both are about doing a solid prototype, rather than
straight-to-codebase, which is too much work (risk) to do on the fixed
timescale.
Neither project is easy.
Neither project is just development.
They both have big learning curves and a student will need to have some
background to bring to the problem.
My assumption is any prototype that gets developed on github and the
Jena accepts the code and places in a repo for stuff not in the codebase
(maybe even the SVN area which we still have). Sound reasonable?
To be clear - I am not guaranteeing to mentor either project at his
stage. I want to know the project will have a decent chance of success
before accepting.
