GNU usually participates in GSOC. I don't really know any details, but discussions about it go by on the GNU maintainers mailing list and sometimes I read them.
Looking back there, I see this is the place to put ideas: http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2014.html. There are instructions near the bottom on how to submit ideas. The second bullet is for GNU maintainers. I think Arun and I are officially co-maintainers, so he should probably send the mail. (Or I could, but I'm vacationing with my sister right now and would have problems doing anything promptly.) On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 10:58 AM, H.G.
