I would be willing to help with mentoring.
Maybe we should have a list on the wiki as
a number of the ideas sound good and it would
be useful to have a way to keep things sorted
out.
The wiki would also allow for more detail
on the items. Different folks have looked
at implementing a number of these and may
have a better understanding of the tasks
and scope involved.

Hello all -
Nobody jumped up to help mentor. I'll assume that's because nobody is
excited about the possibilities, so let's do what I initially didn't want
to do: let's brainstorm some ideas for what could be implemented. The
student(s) would spend their summer, which is supposed to be three to
four
months, on these projects, so they can be fairly large in their scope.
Here
are my ideas:
1) Expand and enhance PDL's help database API so that other PDL
modules can
add to it it at install time and other projects can tap into it more
easily
(pure-perl, may be too small)
2) Finally get PDL::Expt designed and implemented (should be all Perl)
3) Build a PDL equivalent of Matlab's Signal Processing Toolkit (some
Perl,
some PDL::PP)
4) Design and implement PDL::Pointer, PDL::SV, and PDL::Struct (mostly
PDL
core hacking, some PDL::PP and Perl)
5) Make PDL capable of handling>2G elements (PDL core hacking)
6) Make PDL thread-safe (PDL core hacking)
What else would we like to see implemented? In particular, are there any
Toolkits that you would like to see implemented? We have no guarantee
that
a student will take us up on these, but we stand to improve our
chances if
we have some cool ideas.
One last thing: please mention if you will be able to mentor the
student on
your proposed ideas. Mentoring is mostly over email or instant messaging,
and you'll have the rest of us around, so it's not necessarily a huge
commitment. If you know something about a topic and simply haven't had
the
time to write the code for it, you would be a *perfect* mentor, so
speak up!
David
