I would be willing to go through GSOC again. I think that the statistics component could again serve as a project. There are some packages in Math that could be moved to make use of the updated distributions (e.g. math.stat.inference) or perhaps a reworking of the math.stat.descriptive package to support using them with streams.
In the last iteration (GSOC 2020) we failed to get enough of a picture of the competence of candidates in the 'bonding phase' before places were formally allocated. I think we should require that a candidate can: - Open a PR on GitHub to add a feature in the topic area. It should be of non-trivial complexity and delivered to a quality ready to merge. - Show knowledge of the topic area beyond this single feature, demonstrating ability to continue to significantly contribute through a 3 month period in the subject area. Without this set of skills there will be little progress in the formal code period.
