hey folks, as some of you may know, i'm going through the last half of a two year masters' program in "efficient computation" at lund university[1]. for the final semester i'm required to do a rather open-ended project/thesis something along the lines of my course of study. so, naturally, my imagination turns towards the debian project wondering how i might be able to combine my academic and debian interests into a common objective. so, please consider this a solicitation for ideas. if any of them sound genuinely interesting/relevant, i'll take them by my advisor for approval. i should elaborate a bit more on "relevant". basically, this is a largely theoretical program, and any project would need to tie into that in some form or other. so the following would probably not make the cut: - implement foo in C instead of (perl/sh/whatever) - rewrite foo to use X to make it go faster whereas the following would: - anything remotely resembling a graph theory problem (pkg deps? bts?) - introducing new and non-trivial algorithms in bottlenecks anywhere in the "project architecture" (vague, i know) any comments/feedback welcome. feel free to reply off-list (or cc me anyway, since i'm not subscribed). thanks, sean [1] http://www.cs.lu.se/masters/
