I'm all for this Glyn, let me look into the requirements for that. I think there needs to be someone that's community involved who's going to mentor the endeavor. I think only existing Boost maintainers/developers are allowed to mentor GSoC participants. Maybe one of the people in the Boost list would like to take on the GSoC project to push the library development forward? I certainly don't mind anybody taking over the project at this time. -- Dean Michael Berris Software Engineer, Friendster, Inc. <dmb...@fr...> +639287291459 > -----Original Message----- > From: cpp...@li... > [mailto:cpp...@li...] On > Behalf Of Glyn Matthews > Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2008 8:31 PM > To: C++ Networking Library Developers Mailing List > Subject: Re: [cpp-netlib-devel] Offer of help > > Since there seems to be quite a lot of ideas floating around, > both here and on the boost developer list, might it be > possible to put a proposal for GSoC together?
