Applying only makes sense if there are concrete ideas about projects suitable for GSoC participants and if only if there are Org contributors that can work as mentors. Suitable projects should be of the right level of complexity for the students to have a chance to have them implemented in the allotted time, which this year is not much, and have a clear design approved by the Org maintainers, so that most of the time available to the students will not be spent discussing it. Do you have any idea about suitable projects? However, I I think the availability of mentors can be the hardest requirement. I think that it would not be fair for the students if the code they would produce does not have good chances to entering the code base in a timely fashion. Thus, mentors (or, at least, co-mentors) should be among the Org maintainers. Is anyone available? Please understand that the GSoC is not a way to get labor for the project sponsored by Google: it is very likely that the time investment required to the mentors would be more than enough to implement what the students will do during the GSoC. The GSoC is more an opportunity to form a possible future long term contributor to the project. Cheers, Dan
