Hi guys, the Google Summer of Code [1] is approaching. It attracted some great contributors in the past, most notably Philippe and Toby, and I hope there's more to come. So, guys, please provide your project ideas.
My experience is that good projects are those which don't require the student to understand large parts of the existing code and are easy to formulate (but not necessarily easy to accomplish :-P). Although I don't see work items on our roadmap nicely fulfilling this optimum, we still have at least two neat things to work on: The first project I have in mind is the benchmarking GUI we brainstormed about in IRC. It's probably a good idea to push out a first working version in the next weeks and then let the student work on refinements such as a visualization of the results, etc. Second, I think PyViennaCL will benefit from another push. Toby, how's your availability for a release in February? I have more time now for assisting you with the final polishing. Something rather generic is the "implementation of algorithms" such as additional iterative solvers, etc. Now as the standard matrix and vector operations are pretty mature and support multiple backends, this should be a pretty fun piece of work :-) @Philippe, Toby: How about mentoring this year?
