[SciPy-Dev] GSoC'18 participation?

[Jordi Montes]

Hello Ralf,

I have been working on these methods before. I do not have any problem
writing down a draft developing the idea and starting a discussion about
the scope after.

However, I had in mind to be the student and not the mentor. This is my
last year as Master student so it is my last chance for participating in a
GSoC.  I am sure that we can find good mentors for this initiative who are
more expert in the field than myself.

Jordi.
