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

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_projec...
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.
Thinking of motivating someone in your locality to take part in ? Find flyers and presentations here < https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/media#logos_and_art...
for GSoC 2016 round!
