I would work on a numerical project, both because it would be more linked to my studies and as, this way, it could be valid to pass an exam. My professor already suggested me some of the projects listed on your wiki for the GSoC, namely:
- Incomplete sparse factorizations
- General purpose Finite Element library
Hi Eugenio,
it is good to see that someone else is interested in fem-fenics.
do you have any specific idea about how you would like to improve the fem-fenics pkg?
Not really. I’ve been reading the various to-dos: in the wiki, both on the fem-fenics page and on the GSoC projects one, in the mercurial repo and in the presentation you held at MOX. Anyway I can’t get a clear vision of the package future development, so maybe
you might tell me what your ideas are and what you would expect to accomplish in the next months using my help.

Eugenio, Marco,
I think the main goal for the fem-fenics package is ultimately to be merged with the FEnics project itself,
so that it can remain in-sync with the main library development.
So if you wish to work on this project it would be crucial to try to get the main dolfin developers intersted,
and understand what would be required to get the the octave package merged with the FEnics distro.
I would be glad to work on this project: my doubts were related to the lack of long-term goals for its development, since I didn’t guess any from the wiki at the time of my reading of its description. As of now, thanks to your explanation, I deem it a
valuable and interesting effort.
Marco already had contact with them on their forum and they appeared to be quite helpful …
If I’m not getting it wrong, in my application I have to submit a project proposal. I don’t know how detailed it should be, but if you think it’s needed or useful I am willing to help in understanding FEnics developers’ interest.

Eugenio
