Thanks, Vicente. I'll think about it. I am aware of a young programmer

we recently worked with who would be technically capable of going
far in this project.

But I don't know if I should mentor two projects. I might not have
enough time for that.

I'll let you know soon.

Cheers, Chris.

I don't know if Google accepts dual mentors. If not, you could mentor 
this project that is very close to the domain you are working with 
Boost.Multiprecission. I would be happy to help as much as possible. 
Please be free to add you name as possible mentor.

Best,

Vicente
