Do you think JENA-691 is suitable for GSoC, or too advanced?
It would seem to require a lot of understanding of the internal
processing workflow - looks like it is 75% learning and 25% doing! So I
don't think it is suitable for anyone coming in without much of the
background. And if they have the background, it's not very big.

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.
