Maybe I shouldn't be posting here, but as a lurker on this list with a PhD in Applied Maths,  I suspect the lack of enthusiasm about Darshan stems partly from the fact that Octave is mathematical software, and Darshan does not seem to have a very mathematical CV. Maybe if on the Octave TODO list there were a topic which is graphics, UI, or web oriented he could suggest specifically working on that aspect ...

Hello Carnë,

Thanks for your reply. If Darshan is sufficiently self-directed in his
approach to the internship, would it be okay for him to pick one of the
GSoC (or one of the other) projects and work on it this spring?

Thanks,
Andrew
