sure but I don't see why we should not offer it then. I don't expect a rocket stable api in the end but maybe a already good api that could be further improved. By starting with simple classes like container classes this should be not too difficult, e.g. BArray, BHashMap should be quite similar to BList. Furthermore, there are enough good apis out there where a student can get inspiration from. From the time span this should fits nicely into GSoC so its just the matter of finding a good student.
