Thanks Steven,
I have posted the deliverables for my proposal here:

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-s…
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.
