Indeed, looking at the page, at lot of projects are like "finish this or finish that". I don't think it's the right way to attract students. Maybe things could be improved or, if not possible, we can archive those proposals at the end of the page and only put the focus on subject with enough matter.

Can the description of the benchmark library be improved. I think that one is a good candidate. Mario, could you move it closer to the top as well, alongside the other projects having a complete description.

I added some points explaining the goal of the GSoC to this project and moved it up in the list - maybe the rest should go under "ideas" also? However, any more input on the benchmark project is highly welcome! Mario

Best, David

Can those who planned to add a proposal but didn't do yet update https://svn.boost.org/trac/**boost/wiki/SoC2013<https://svn.boost.org/trac /boost/wiki/SoC2013>as soon as possible? And can those who added a proposal check it one last time?

Andrew reminded me that Boost wasn't accepted last year because we had a superficial list of ideas without realistic goals and expectations. We should be able to increase our chances if we document actual requirements and possibly design approaches. According to Google they look extensively at every org's ideas page. So this is really important.

Thanks, Boris
