I'd suggest you carefully study the details of the state of the extension 
library and make a detailed proposal.  You could discuss this on the list, 
privately with Jeremy, or however you'd like to handle it.

I'm afraid Jeremy cannot be a Boost mentor as we require the mentors to be a 
Boost library author. That said, there would be nothing that stops Jeremy from 
helping a student with technical issues, which he sounds willing to do -- he 
just wouldn't be doing the evaluation of success or failure of the project. 
In any case, I'm sure one of the Boost mentors would be able to help with this 
library.
