Thank you for your interest in GSoC with Octave.  Yes, I am willing to 
mentor a project on creating a Matlab compatible table datatype [1].

I think tomorrow the mentoring organizations will be announced by 
Google.  If Octave is chosen (of course you are always free to work on 
this project outside GSoC as well), you can familiarize yourself with 
the existing codes and improve them (a bit).  An "easy" potential 
starting point to show your Octave coding skills is creating some BIST 
[2] for "octave-tablicious" [3], for example.  That means create a fork 
of "octave-tablicious" or start a new Octave package [4] copying a 
subset of that project.

Two more things if you prefer to communicate via email:
1. Please keep the Octave maintainers mailing-list in the CC and add a 
subject prefix "[GSoC]" or "[GSoC 2021]".
2. Please answer below the previous post ("bottom-posting").
