Hi Menaka and thanks for your interest. Please see the GSOC timeline, https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline. The deadline is not far off so you will need to develop your proposal very quickly. I recommend that you review successful GSOC proposals from last year [1]. [2] was a particularly good proposal with a lot of thought up front that led to a very successful implementation. I don’t think this was a coincidence.
Projects should be determined by the student after they carefully review the code and interact with the developers on the developer list to understand the problem. So I recommend you start with some more specific questions. It is always also a good idea to see if you can then answer your own questions after you formulate them, and then confirm your answers on the developer list. Again, we appreciate your interest. GSOC projects are a unique opportunity to learn how open source projects work. We are looking for students who are very self-motivated and capable of articulating the details of their projects.
