Plan it out in a way where one project isn't dependent on the other project completing, or even being approved. You may know each other well, but if something catastrophic happens to one of you (a family emergency, etc.) you don't want it to keep the other one from finishing. The other aspect is that we only have so many slots given to us by Google, and only so many mentors to go around. Proposals go through a ranking process and then the top rated items get picked - if for some reason one makes the cut and the other doesn't, or we only have one mentor qualified and interested in this topic, it'll be difficult. I sincerely hope none of these things happen, but if you're going to plan ahead, it's worth covering every possible outcome you can.
