Hi,
Just a note here:
This time there is no copy of the proposal on the GSoC portal.
They allow students to specify a URL (expected to be public) where the
proposal can be.
They recommend a public google drive link, but you can give an alternate
URL too.
Hence, students can directly give the phabricator task's URL there.
It would be a good idea to modify the wiki page about GSoC if this is fine.
PS: I just submitted my proposal a few hours back
Regards
Abdeali JK

Hello all,
Google announced the start of accepting proposals for GSoC 2016 few hours
ago. Interested and eligible candidates should submit their proposals at
http://g.co/gsoc before the deadline of Friday, March 25 at 19:00 UTC.
Wikimedia evaluates your proposal Phabricator task, but it is required
that
you have a copy of the same in the GSoC portal
too, to make sure it gets
a
slot ( if eligible ). By March 25th, every
possible application should
have *2
mentors* connected with it, and should have a proposal copy in
Phabricator,
as well as the GSoC portal. Please make sure you
mention the phab task
details in your proposal, for convenience. If you are planning to apply,
you should be looking at
Life_of_a_successful_project#Coming_up_with_a_proposal
<
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs/Life_of_a_successful_proje…
As of today, we have *8* projects featured for this round ( strong idea
+ 2
mentors connected ), and *13* projects missing
one among the two mentors.
Interested in mentoring ? see
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/ and add
yourself as one.
The Outreachy round May - August 2016 is open, with a deadline of *March
22, 2016 *and eligible applicants are advised to apply for *both* GSoC
and
Outreachy, so that the project can still make it,
in case we are missing
a
slot with a strong applicant.
