A dedicated bug fixing project in GSoC

[Sumith 1896]

Hi all,

I was discussing this idea with Ondřej the other day. Before putting this idea in the wiki, I wanted to discuss it here.

Every year, some organisations have a dedicated bug fixing GSoC project. The main aim here is to tackle and
close off as many issues in the issue tracker as possible. However this will require a very dedicated student and
he/she has to adapt to different parts of code in a very short time.

SymPy can hugely benefit from such a project. Do discuss the possibility of such a project. Is it feasible?

Cheers
Sumith

I'd be curious to hear from other organizations if such projects have
been successful.

I'm mainly worried that if we put such an idea on the ideas page that
it would attract low quality proposals.

I'll try to find out if such projects were successful.

This is my prime concern too.
