[Scilab-Dev] Google Summer of Code / Metanet-Boost.graph

[Collette Yann]

Hello again,

Fill free to post an application on GSOC about this project.
I am also really interesting in the BOOST.Graph toolbox as I am 
currently working on a huge graph problem (gas flow network).
Once you fill your proposal, send me an email and I will comment your 
proposal and give you, if necessaryt, some advices.
