Dear Mentors and Contributors, As google-melange.com indicates there is less than 4 days remaining, students to submit their proposals. However as informed the idea page is freeze now. This ensures that every student is treated fair.We didnot notice any new idea with in the soft-freeze period. Therefore the idea list looks as it was before the student application period opened. Still if you believe that you have an idea that is worth forwarding for Summer Coding, please use the GSoC 2013 idea page[1] (Tentative Place holder). The admins for GSoC 2013 will take care of your valued idea. Finally I would like to thanks those who supported by forwarding their ideas for GSoC 2012.
