[SciPy-Dev] Contributing to SciPy through GSoC

[Anubhav Patel]

Hi,
I wanted feedback regarding whether a combination of rotation class and
implementation of quaternion SLERP algorithm and Davenport's Q-method
solving Wahba's Problem, will be enough for GSoC? Should I include more
rotation related algorithm for implementation? Any suggestions what more I
could do?
