Robin - thank you for drafting this proposal! It's also helpful if you can make the
connection between your project and how its outcomes will benefit the WM community.
"This resolves ABC problem that has come up." or "Fulfills the common
request for XYZ feature that we currently don't have."
For students interested in GSoC, Robin's posting of a draft submission on the wiki
models a good initial step to take. Your proposal on
MediaWiki.org is something you
should link to in your official GSOC application to Google. More info:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2012/Application_template
As a reminder to everyone. Folks are encouraged to review on and collaborate with
students via these proposals, IRC and email to share ideas, offer assistance, support,
etc. This is a phenomenal opportunity to integrate (assimilate?) the skills and time of
some very talented students into the MediaWiki community. I'll be categorizing these
proposals today into this category for your convenience (students are welcome to add their
applications to this category):
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Summer_of_Code_2012_applications
The deadline for submitting applications to Google (which is done in addition to your
proposal on
MediaWiki.org) is April 6th and will be here sooner than you think!

Hi,
I'd like to participate in Google Summer of Code. After thinking about
several options (global preferences, export/import, ...) I took the
subject that I am most excited about and that is a continuation of
what I have been doing as a volunteer, improving Incubator (with an
extension) and language support of MediaWiki.
Please see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:SPQRobin/GSoC , any
feedback is of course welcome. (It's difficult to guess what is too
little or too much.)
As I am not home from 31 March till 6 April, I will have to submit it
now in two days, because I am not sure I will have internet access
during that week.
Thanks
Robin
