Hi, Maduranga Siriwardena! Thank you for being interested in Wikimedia and in open source software.
First, a quick tip: it's better to include a subject line when you email people, especially on mailing lists. Please see http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/ch014_communication-best-practic... guidance.
Now, as you see at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects#A_syste..., some basic requirements have already been listed. What more do you need to know in order to start your proposal? (Performance benchmarks to hit? Standalone web app vs. extension to an existing system? Perhaps something else?) Asking specific questions is going to be a better way to get answers.
I hope this helps!

Hi all, I'm Maduranga Siriwardena, 3rd year computer Science and Engineering Undergraduate at University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Currently I'm in my internship at WSO2, which a opensource middleware company.
While going through the project ideas, the idea of "A system for reviewing funding requests" impressed me. But as I'm new to the wikimedia project, I don't have much idea how to proceed. Please describe the requirements of the project and other requirements needed to proceed with this project.
Thank you
