However, I currently am unable to commit the time to take the lead on actually
mentoring a student.
So, quick straw poll: who is available to put their name to this? I haven’t looked at this in detail but I would expect that in practice we can do a group effort in guiding the student (through mailing list and PR/issue tracker) - but someone will need to step up and be the first contact point.
Have a look at the GSOC mentor manual (linked above) and raise your hand if you want to help out.

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:
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:
- 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;
- Extending the QueryRenderer for SPARQL 1.1 (#71);
- Extending the QueryBuilder for SPARQL 1.1 (#496);
Does anybody have other suggestions?
Cheers,
Jeen
