Hi Ashish, glad you want to get involved with Tor for GSoC!
We should be very clear to mention this:
The organizations participating in 2013 GSoC have NOT been announced yet. While we don't think we've done anything that would make Google not take our application this year, there is *NO* guarantee that we will be accepted, and any discussion about applying for Tor stuff for GSoC 2013 is contingent on .
(I say this because in the past the GSoC admins have gotten justly annoyed when projects imply that they have been accepted when they actually aren't.)
Damian, do you think we could add a prominent sentence or two to our gsoc page to clarify this point? (i.e., that the list of projects we have are entirely contingent on our acceptance into the program, which has not yet been determined or announced, and which is entirely at GSoC's discretion.)
For reference, the GSoC timeline is here: https://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2013/he...
