Hello, Earlier I was thinking of resting astronomy library for this GSoC and bring it to its first formal review after some development on my own cause it has been part of GSoC for 2 years now and still not reached to its first review and there are still many pending things before its first review. Since last month, I have started receiving many requests and ideas from the students about this library and many students are taking initiative and this may speed up the process of development. I still would like to know the opinion of the community before including this library in this GSoC. Thank you, Pranam Lashkari

You may appreciate that, for some libraries, two years is/was not long enough to release with Boost after the review and acceptance.

Although I'm neither current nor prospect user of Boost.Astronomy - I just have been observing its activity on Gitter during the GSoC 2019 - I think it's interesting and quite a unique library with potential to attract users and contributors. If there are no formal obstacles, I don't see any problem in GSoC-ing it if it helps to push its development forward. Especially, seeing your dedication to keep the development active. Please, don't get discouraged. Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

I agree. GSoC-ing the project will only take a few minutesand it might potentially benefit both the Boost GSoC 2020application as well as the value and visibility of your lib.
As for not getting dicouraged, I can confirm the meritof that. Some of our GSoC 2013 work just made it fully
into Boost.Math recently. After our preliminary work,it took the expertise of other Boost experts and a bitof time to fully "ripen" the software and get into the flow.
It was very rewarding and I was thankful to the helpof the Bost experts who ultimately pushed that workinto shape for Boost. You might obtain similar long-termsuccess with your lib.
Kind regards, Chris
