[SciPy-Dev] GSoC'18 participation?

[Ralf Gommers]

Hi all,

I have created https://github.com/scipy/scipy/wiki/GSoC-2018-project-ideas
and added Jordi's idea to it. If anyone would be interested in co-mentoring
this topic, please add your name. Also if you have other ideas and are
interested to mentor those if a good student comes along, please add!

I'll send the link through to the PSF organisers so we get on the list.
Clearly we're having a bit of an issue with bandwidth of the usual suspects
for mentoring (and PR reviewing) right now, so while we will keep the door
open to participate we're going to have to be quite selective with students.

Cheers,
Ralf
