    8383
    8484=== Benchmarking framework for GRASS GIS ===
     
    8888* Sharing of interface and code with the existing testing framework needs to be addressed.
    8989* See also https://github.com/jachym/grass-performace and wiki:GSoC/2014/TestingFrameworkForGRASS

    9292
    9393=== GRASS GIS as a post-processing part of WebODM ===
     
    9595* Integrate GRASS GIS into WebODM for post-processing of point clouds and orthophotos.
    9696* This will require development in the are of GRASS GIS command line (and/or Python) interface for standalone applications. These improvements need to be integrated into GRASS GIS for maintenance and re-usability purposes.
     97
    9798=== v.in.osm enhancement ===
    9899
     
    118119* Language requirements: Python, wxPython
    119120* Mentor: ?
     121* Co-mentor: Vaclav Petras (coding part)
    120122* With support from: Moritz Lennert (with limited time available, though)
    121123
     
    144146* Proposal must identify potential areas which need a higher level API and what features would the API provide in comparison to the current API (and when it would be just enough to extent the current API).
    145147* Possible improvements include:
    146  * Random access to raster values which supports all-in-memory approach and hides implementation details such as row-based storage and separate segmentation.
     148 * Random access to raster values which supports all-in-memory approach and hides implementation details such as row-based storage and separate segmentation (C version implemented in r70478).
    147149 * Unified access to a series of maps (list, group, spatio-temproal dataset) which hides potential improvements towards direct support of NetCDF series or Rasdaman.
    148150 * C++ interface leveraging C++ features such as operator overloading or support of STL algorithms.
    149151 * Bridging of C++ RAII and try-catch with GRASS GIS C API exit and optional memory cleaning must be addressed.
    150152* Language requirements: C and C++
    151 * Mentor: ?
    152 * Co-mentor: Vaclav Petras
    153 * This idea needs extending and evaluating.
     153* Mentor: Vaclav Petras
     154* Potential co-mentor: Soeren Gebbert
     155* This idea needs extending and evaluating. A possible alternative is RCP interface in Python which also solves issues related to building persistent applications (e.g. GUIs) based on GRASS GIS libraries.
     156
    154157=== Tools for generating unit tests from examples in the manual ===
    155158
     
    158161
    159162* Language requirements: Python
    160 * Mentor: ???
     163* Mentor: Vaclav Petras
     164* Co-mentor: Soeren Gebbert
    161165
    162166=== Mapnik rendering engine for GRASS GIS ===
     
    184188  * in this was separated parts of the GUI can be implemented in Qt separately
    185189 * Mentors: Martin Landa, Anna Petrasova, Vaclav Petras
    186  * Similar project accepted: wiki:GSoC/2016/PyQtGUI
     190 * Similar project accepted in 2016 (wiki:GSoC/2016/PyQtGUI). This project should move it several steps further.
    187191
    188192=== GRASS GIS 3D viewer NVIZ module independent of the main GUI ===
     
    217221  * Deep knowledge of GRASS GIS is not necessary.
    218222  * The student must be prepared to work with many different data sources and perhaps contact people from community to get suggestion where and how to get the data.
    219   * Language requirements: Bourne shell scripting, Python (Python would the the primary tool used)
     223  * Language requirements: Python (Python would the the primary tool used), Bash, wxPython (basics)
    220224 * Mentor: ?
    221  * Co-mentor: ?
     225 * Co-mentor: Vaclav Petras (coding and GUI integration part)
    222226
    223227=== Integration of v.profile into GUI profiling tool ===
    224228
    225229Current GUI profile tool supports creation of profiles of raster maps. It serves as a visualisation frontend to r.profile. Sometimes it is necessary to integrate into profile information on some objects (river, road, observation point etc.) that are provided as vector objects. Such functionality is provided by v.profile add-on (planned to be moved from add-ons to main modules), still any visualisation tool is lacking. Thus as a part of SOC existing profiling tool could be extended to include also vector profiling capabilities. This SOC requires basic knowledge of Python and will provide introduction into wxPython program development.
    226 * Integration of v.profile should provide support of:
     230* Integration of v.profile (addon module) should provide support of:
    227231 * displaying vector points as symbols by their Z coordinate / attribute value OR on a selected raster profile line
    228232 * displaying vector line crossing places as vertical lines
    229233 * displaying labels next to symbols or at X axis
     234* This can be extended by integrating also v.profile.points which is a different way of profiling vector maps.   
    230235* Requirements: Python, wxPython
    231236* Mentor: ?
    232 * Co-mentors: Māris Nartišs, ?
     237* Co-mentors: Māris Nartišs, Vaclav Petras (v.profile.points part)
    233238
    234239=== Implement cutline generation ===
     
    266271  * If you get stuck with the setup, feel free to consult the [http://lists.osgeo.org/listinfo/grass-user grass-user mailing list].
    267272  * Familiarize yourself with wiki:Submitting rules.
    268  * Prove your worth by being active on the GRASS mailing lists ([http://lists.osgeo.org/listinfo/grass-user grass-user], [http://lists.osgeo.org/listinfo/grass-dev grass-dev]), fix some [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/report bugs], and/or implement some (smaller) features, or write some (simpler) GRASS module, and post it to mailing list. There's no better way to demonstrate your willingness and abilities.
     273 * Prove your worth by being active on the GRASS mailing lists ([http://lists.osgeo.org/listinfo/grass-user grass-user], [http://lists.osgeo.org/listinfo/grass-dev grass-dev]), fix some [http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/report bugs], and/or implement some (smaller) features, or write some (simpler) GRASS module, and post it to mailing list. There's no better way to demonstrate your willingness and abilities. You should start even before you apply to GSoC.
     274 * Also note that fixing existing bugs and/or implementing enhancements will be a part of student evaluation.
    269275
    270276 * GRASS GIS hopes to participate in GSoC as part of the [http://www.osgeo.org/ OSGeo Foundation]'s GSoC program umbrella. See the official OSGeo template for application details and other important information at the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016_Ideas OSGeo GSoc Ideas page].
