Hi Grigorii,

Welcome to the Shogun community!
(please always cc the mailing list and introduce yourself to the community)

Thank you for you interest and the project idea.Yes this could be a nice
project but it's difficult to judge from the vague description. To make
sure your application could be successful, please note the steps in our
“How to get involved”:

- contribute Code (it is important for us to see Code contributions from
you *before* the application deadline. This helps us to judge both your
dedication and also expertise so we know, e.g. who might be best to mentor
you. WE DO NOT ACCEPT APPLICATIONS WITHOUT PRIOR CODE CONTRIBUTION)

- don’t just contact individual mentors but get active in the community
(answer questions, report bugs, contribute)
(Sorry I haven't been in IRC a while)

- write a well thought-through project proposal. While it is great that you
have already an idea, and have already worked in it, what you need for a
GSoC project is a *detailed* plan (including, importantly, a timeline) that
you can follow through with. I am happy to give you feedback on your
application before the deadline.

Looking forward to your contributions and your project proposal!

Best wishes,
Lea
