Thanks Steven,

I have posted the deliverables for my proposal here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Blackjack48/GSOC_proposal_for_watchlist_...

Is there any place in particular I should post the link besides this mailing list?

Hi, Aaron. http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2012/03/new-kind-of-summer-job-open-so... has the details on applying. You need to submit your proposal via http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/home/google/gsoc2012 before Friday, April 6 at 19:00 UTC.

I know you wrote that you'll be adding more details to your proposal later this week. Just so you know, the best way to get an idea of what a MediaWiki project proposal should look like is to look at our past projects https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_Past_Projects and to read http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/ , then use our application template: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2012/Application_template .

Vivek Bagaria https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Bagariavivek/GSoC_Application is also interested in doing a Google Summer of Code project to improve watchlist functionality. Historically, sometimes we receive multiple proposals for very similar tasks for Google Summer of Code, but we only accept one (factors going into our decision will include which proposal is better, which student has participated more in the Wikimedia community, which student has better technical skills, and which student has better communication skills). Therefore, you and Vivek should either choose to strive to make your applications regarding watchlist improvements the best it can be, or one of you should choose a different topic.

Feel free to discuss with each other.
