Yes, for PROJECT 2 "R-tree serialization" you have to implement the 
serialization of models implemented in Boost.Geometry. The minimum is 
the serialization of model::point in arbitrary dimension and 
model::point_xy but you may also implement it for other models, e.g. 
model::box, model::segment, etc. And it should be as generic as possible.

I'm not sure if I understand the question correctly. What do you mean by 
"how many students do we need"? AFAIK there is no predefined number of 
students that have to prepare proposals. What matters is the knowledge 
of the student and the quality of the proposal.
