Re: [Quantlib-dev] Google Summer of Code

[Alok <qua...@bi...>]

So I've explored the SourceForge project page some more and found the
feature requests page on the tracker. And this entry by
Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) struck me as interesting.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1651713&group_id=12740&atid=362740

I would appreciate it very much if someone can elaborate on what sort
of extension would someone be looking for. I do know that RQuantLib
was developed as a Summer of Code project to extend QuantLib to the
R-Project in 2009.

Any ideas/thoughts/advise regarding this would be much appreciated.

best regards,
Alok
