| 15 | There are a few interesting improvements that can be done withing GSoC timeframe: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | * Signature-based update engine. This means that a MD5 checksum of a command used to update each target is recorded, and if that changes on the next run, the target is rebuilt. This will considerably |
| 18 | improve reliability. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * IDE integration. There's already initial plugin for Eclipse CDT plugin, which can be improved. Plugins for other IDEs, such as KDevelop or Visual Studio are also possible. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | * Packaging support. It would be nice to automatically create packages in popular distribution formats. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * [https://trac.lvk.cs.msu.su/boost.build/wiki/PythonPort Python Port] can offer many tasks, though it's relatively high challenge. |
