Hi Jorge, thanks for your interest! I think this would be a welcome addition to ODE.jl and I would like to see how this somewhat non-standard method fits within the framework of ODE.jl. I think this could make a strong application.
A couple of things: I never participated in GSOC, so I don't know how to proceed. Whilst I did update the GSOC ODE.jl proposal, there may also be other suitable mentors. I guess that is something to be discussed. Cheers, Mauro @Ilya: Jorge is a PhD student of the authors of TaylorSeries.jl.
