I think there are a couple of options here, since we have a handful of bitmap-related projects that are all up for grabs. If Shubham is also interested in working on implementing Roaring+Run compression, then I would be happy for the two of you to work together. Alternatively, if you each want to focus on different sub-projects, I would be happy to work with multiple students on different areas within the reachability bitmaps subsystem. > I should note that the best case scenario for me is if we are both selected, > probably on different bitmap performance areas under "Reachability bitmap > improvements" project, however I don't know if it's possible.

Even though I'd be happy to work with as many students as I have time for, I'm not sure whether it's possible within GSoC's own rules, much less whether or not it's been done before. Christian (cc'd) may have more information. Christian: is it possible to accept multiple students for the same GSoC project? Thanks, Taylor
