You know, Talha, people happen to have lives :-)
Sorry if I
sounded harsh. I was a bit frustrated with the lack of
replies in general.
On (1) to (5), I'm with Allin. While (1) and (2) are doable, (3)
is IMO not
worth attempting,
OK let's forget about it for now. But I do think that sooner
or later
we will need more stats distributions at least for the sake of
completeness.
... I don't find
(4) and (5) particularly exciting, so of course I'm not against them but
it's not something I'm eager to spend any time on.
I think (4) is something Google would like to support. I don't know
about (5) but, still, I can be the mentor for both of them and see if
anyone will be interested in doing them.
6)- Improving function packages management...
This sounds like
a nice and well thought out project.
So, all in all, does it sound good if we were to apply with (1), (2),
(4), (5), and (6)? Jack, is it OK to be assigned as the mentor for (1)
and (6)? Allin, is it OK being the mentor for (2)? I can be the
general coordinator and the mentor for (4) and (5) if it is OK with
everyone. I don't think being a mentor involves alot of time or work.
I am sure everyone will try their best to help a student in this email
list as well.
Any more volunteers? Any more project ideas? Any more comments?
Cheers
Talha
