Students already work on these face management topics, one on GUI,
another one on engine (AI based clustering of face tags).

The Google Summer of code event will be closed at en of August 2020.
In septemeber will working to rebase students branches to master and
prepare a future major release as beta. The plan, as usual is to
publish a finalized version for Christmas
