Hi Daniel, thanks for your interest in the OpenStreetMap GSoC.
From the projects that you have listed, we have moved the one about 3D mapping features to an 'incubator' state meaning that the idea still needs more work to be shaped into a full GSoC project proposal and that you should actively search for a mentor. The other three suggestions are equally useful and you should try to find the project that matches best your skills and interest. The projects are quite different each. The iD projects are good if you like Javascript and web development. I can't give you details about the project itself. Brian Housel can talk about the details. The Nominatim Wikidata project is more focused on databases and data processing. Essentially it is about extracting helpful information from the wikidata database and integrating it into the Nominatim database and using it to improve the search results. Find out what exactly is 'helpful' is a big part of the project. So you should like data analysis and writing scripts for processing large amout of data. The search suggestion project has a bit of both. photon is an elastic search based frontend for Nominatim, which should be tuned for the specific purpose of providing suggestions for the search box on openstreetmap.org. Here som Java skills are essential and it would help if you have heard of Elastic Search previously. Some basic web programming skills for the integration into the website are also useful. I hope that helps a bit better to decide what you think suits you best. For the Nominatim projects I'm happy to answer further questions.
