Dimitry's FReD library review looks to have been a success.
What about the other GSoC projects, esp. the linear algebra stuff?
David Nadlinger's Thrift project can't go into Phobos because of
licensing IIUC and probably doesn't belong in a standard library anyhow.
I think it would be great to push it in Phobos - at least in etc. What
are the licensing issues?
On second thought I guess none with just the bindings.
Great. I'll get in touch with David regarding further evolution.
Cristi Cobzarenco's SciD project isn't thoroughly fleshed out and
debugged enough for Phobos yet.
There seems to be activity on SciD. Are you or someone you know
interested in working on a submission?
Triangular and symmetric matrixes are very buggy and missing features
right now. Cristi has indicated that he's extremely busy with school but
will eventually start working on SciD again. I don't think it's ready
for prime time until these features work well.
I understand. The way I see it, if SciD can't be considered functional
without triangular and symmetric matrices, then we counted an unfinished
project as successfully completed. This is an imperfection of our GSoC
planning and scrutiny process that we should fix in the future.
We shouldn't expect and wait that Cristi will restart work on the
project. His future participation would be of course gladly welcome, but
we should make nothing contingent upon that.
With that in mind, let me ask again: is there someone in the community
willing to do what it takes to put SciD through the Phobos review process?
Thanks,
Andrei
