Basically we would be looking for a detailed, well thought out proposal.
Importantly, the proposal should be more than "I want to implement X for CS"
and linking a few papers.
A good proposal should probably discuss how you're going to go about it
(might require some research of CS beforehand).
Secondly it'd be a good idea to hang around the CS IRC channel, post your
proposal to this list and get some discussion going.
A mentor has to be interested in your project or it probably wouldn't be
selected. Sparking discussion is likely to get someone interested.
Submitting a proposal on deadline day without any prior discussion might not
catch the eye of a mentor unless it's very very good.
Of course there's no guarantees, but you can only help your chances :)
