You can if you rewrite the key points of proposal to retain the overall 
message, but remove identifying information. I think it would be helpful to 
write up some of the general reasons for projects being rejected.

I tried to do this for Haskell experience reports, on the Haskell Symposium 
experience report advice page.
 http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/HaskellSymposium/ExperienceReports


I'd imagine you could write up some common proposal / rejection / advice tuples 
like:

Proposal: I want to write a MMORPG in Haskell, because this would be a good 
demonstration for Haskell in a large real world project. We can use this as a 
platform to develop the networking library infrastructure.

Rejection: This project is much too big, and the production of a MMORPG 
wouldn't benefit the community as a whole.

Advice: If you know of specific problems in the networking library 
infrastructure, then focus on those, using specific examples of where people 
have tried to do something and failed.
