[rdf4j-dev] Google Summer of Code ideas

[Jeen Broekstra <jeen.broekstra@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

Eclipse is participating in the Google Summer of Code  and have invited all projects to think about participating as well. There’s two ways in which we can become involved: 

1. Any one of us can sign up as a mentor;
2. We can submit ideas for projects that students can work on.

I think this might be a good opportunity for RDF4J to get some “free” development cycles and a bit of exposure as well. But I’m looking for specific ideas: does anybody have any ideas on what kind of features/enhancement we could submit as ideas for GSoC?

I currently have three candidates:

1. Support for HDT (issue #232) - useful feature but high-risk project as it already was part of GSoC before, and failed due to licensing problems;
2. Extending the QueryRenderer for SPARQL 1.1 (#71);
3. Extending the QueryBuilder for SPARQL 1.1 (#496);

Does anybody have other suggestions? 

Cheers,

Jeen
