Hi all potential GSoC students, Leslie from Google just wrote to the mentors mailinglist, that they would like all of you to submit your proposals to the Melange app *now*:
http://socghop.appspot.com so that they can judge how many applications are coming and if they should extend the deadline, or not. As far as I understand, you are able to change and refine the application in the app itself: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/userguide#depth_studentapply So I suggest the following: take what you have, and submit an application, then link from it to your wiki.sympy.org page. I'll do next round of reviews of all your apps after I finish teaching today, in about 4 hours. So make any changes you want me to check before it, if possible. Then you can update your app in the Melange application based on the review. If possible, please choose your title something like: SymPy: <your project title> so that the SymPy applications can be easily distinguished among others. Apply to both Python Software Foundation (PSF) and the Portland State University (PSU). If you want to increase your chances, tailor your PSF application to the fact, that PSF guys all know Python and most Python libraries, so you don't need to advocate Python that much, while if submitting to PSU, some of the mentors there know Python, but some not and generally they have project proposals for all kinds of different things, so you need to explain why it is good to fund your project idea. If you find some other organization to apply to, feel free to do so (and let me know so that I can apply as a mentor there too).
