Hi,
according to
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2011
Digital Mars got accepted to GSoC 2011.
On the above mentioned page Digital Mars is ranked in the second table
because the organization profile has not been completed yet. Maybe the
name can also be changed. Because for an outsider Digital Mars is maybe
not known. So something with D Programming Language should be better.
Students are now supposed to submit/discuss project proposals (see
http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?GSOC_2011_Ideas for some ideas). You
can propose new project ideas. Later you need to apply with the project
until the 8th of April.
As it seems Google will decide after the students applications deadline
and ranking by the mentoring organization how many students will be
allocated to an organization.

One clarification about GSoC: Do they expect a full-time or near
full-time commitment from applicants, or is it reasonable to do a GSoC
project at night/on weekends while doing "normal" Ph.D. thesis work
during the day? I had thought that GSoC was only for undergrads and
just found out grad students are allowed to apply. I definitely cannot
work full time on my project, but I doubt I would need to either.
Therefore, I'm **halfway** (emphasis added) thinking of applying for
either the containers or garbage collection project.
