    9 After two extremely successful years of GSoC at Boost during which even some of the old timers have been wowed by the C++ code some of the students have brought us, we are minded to keep in place the improved candidate selection process which involves preferentially selecting every GSoC Boost candidate who takes a '''C++ programming aptitude test''' or provides links to at least 1,000 lines (excluding comments and whitespace) non-coursework C++ ''library'' (not application nor solution) open source code. Note if following the second route, code should have been open sourced at least three months ago, and show a log of commits improving the library over time.
     9After two extremely successful years of GSoC at Boost during which even some of the old timers have been wowed by the C++ code some of the students have brought us, we are minded to keep in place the more rigorous candidate selection process which involves preferentially selecting over all others every GSoC Boost candidate who takes a '''C++ programming aptitude test''' or provides links to at least 1,000 lines (excluding comments and whitespace) non-coursework C++ ''library'' (not application nor solution) open source code.

    1111Students should review the [wiki:SoCPrevious list of ideas from previous GSoCs] and the archives of [http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html#main the Boost developer's mailing list] relating to GSoC. They should write a well researched message to that developer's mailing list seeking a mentor, and be as flexible as possible in finding a topic that both they and the mentor is interested in upon which to base a GSoC project proposal text to be submitted to Google. That project proposal should follow [wiki:SoCSubmissionTemplate this submission template].

    13 Mentors may add project ideas with programming competency tests below as GSoC approaches. These may prove useful in starting a discussion with potential mentor(s).
