Hi Matte,
Thanks for your interest. It sounds like you have a handle on what's
required for GSoC already. Once you've evaluated the project ideas that
interest you (or come with an idea of your own), the core of your GSoC
application will be a project timeline -- ideally, a week-by-week timeline
of coding activities, goals, deliverables and potential problems or
outstanding questions you perceive. If you make this a public spreadsheet
on Google Docs or similar and share it with us, we can give you early
feedback on it. Also, this would be a good time to try fetching the JSBML
and BioJava source trees and building them yourself, if you haven't already.
I would add that to understand and prepare for this project
it would be important to have a look at the current specification
proposal for the multi package.

Hello,
My name is Matte Bailey, and I'm a third year computer science student at
Western Washington University. I am also a biology minor, and am very
interested in bioinformatics and hope to someday have a career in the
field. For the past few months I have been searching for something I could
do over the summer related to bioinformatics, and I recently discovered the
Open Bioinformatics Foundation and your Google Summer of Code
opportunities. This is exactly what I have been looking for, and I would be
thrilled if I could be one of the students to work on a project this summer.
I've read through all of the instructions about the application process
and the current project ideas, and am now trying to figure out what kind of
project I would be best suited for. I have experience with quite a few
programming languages, but the BioJava projects seem to best fit my skills
and level of experience. As I do not at this point have any experience with
JSBML, I'm not exactly sure which of these projects I should be pursuing,
although they all see interesting to me. The "Implement support for the
SBML Multistate/Multicomponent Species package" project is probably the
most attractive to me at this point due to the fact that it relates to
biochemistry, which is an interest of mine. I am very open to working on
any project though!
Is there anything else I can do at this time to improve my chances of
being selected? The largest part of the application seems to be putting
together a comprehensive project plan, and I intend to begin working on
that as soon as I figure out which project I am pursuing.
Thanks for you help,
Matte
