One more question. Do you feel this is a job that someone
who isn't
necessarily well versed in the various technologies could
take on (in a
sort of manager role), or would you need someone who has the
expertise
to evaluate various proposals.
Any motivated individual with little to moderate expertise
can do it.
The application is for the most part filling forms and
creating prose.
A person who's on top of things can prod contributors into
submitting
ideas, rally mentors, make sure the related web pages are in
good
shape, etc. etc. etc. To put things into perspective, we
could have
missed the deadline if the thing didn't bubble up to my level
of
consciousness.

In that case, as Yoda would say:
Volunteer to prepare GSoC 2015 proposal I shall.
Do you have copies of past submissions as a guideline, or is
it just
what is on the Wiki.
Congratulations and good luck! Stay tuned to the general GSoC
process and I hope you'll be around in December :o).
Google doesn't save past submissions. We have our older gsoc
pages on dlang.org and the wiki. I think Walter saved some form
data.

I will try to keep an eye on what the successful projects do this
summer, that may give me so ideas.
