I agree, those all should be fun projects and helpful projects.
The next steps for us be to add those projects to JIRA with a GSoC tag,
as that's where people will look for it.
I think that we're still a little early, as the mentoring organizations
will only be finalized in February.
But I think that it's a safe bet that the ASF will be in and it's good
to do the project descriptions now.
Cheers,

Those all sound like excellent projects!
UCI is also running a summer intern program for selected foreign
undergrads.
That might be another source of help, especially for something like
the first project.

Google Summer of Code (GSOC) is just around the corner and I wanted
to
suggest a few ideas.
- XMark Benchmark - VXQuery still needs more XQuery coverage to run
all the
XMark queries.
- HDFS Support - Many organizations are saving data to HDFS and it
would be
great if VXQuery could read this data. In addition, the VXQuery
cluster
could even be managed by Yarn.
- XML Indexing - Previous work was done on indexing XML, but the
project
was never fully integrated into VXQuery. It would be nice to fully
integrate XML indexing into VXQuery.
What are the next steps for us (VXQuery) to participate in GSOC?
