@tboch (from CDS, author of the Aladin Lite Javascript HIPS client) has agreed via email to co-author this project. I've updated the project description. Ready for review (or posting if it looks good). (The statement that students should read the HIPS paper first and contact me after is intentional, last year I got ~ 10 low-quality "interested" students and it was a waste of time in the application phase. OK to be a bit blunt here?) |

I'd really like to have a Python HIPS package, so I'm proposing this GSoC 2017 idea.
At the moment, there's no second or third mentor available, so this PR shouldn't be merged.
@tboch @astrofrog @larrybradley @taldcroft @eteq - Would you be interested to co-mentor this, or know someone that could be interested?
Personally I would only do it if a very good student / existing open-source contributor applies because of past experiences and limited time for mentoring, and make it clear to applicants from the start. So ideally there would even be a third co-mentor interested in this project, but a second with at least 2 hours / week this summer, ideally more for mentoring and code review, is clearly a must before we even mention the idea to student via the web page.
