For one I don't have the bandwidth for it (but come to think about, I think I offered to be a back-up mentor for some thing using Rcpp but being primairly BioC) and Google also encourages rotation of personel so that things don't get stuck in the same rut. So if someone wants to have a go at a Rcpp-based GSoC project: by all means, go for it.
Thank you for your reply Dirk. If someone would feel tempted to mentor the project I would be more then willing to show interest as a student! Berry
