I've had a couple of student candidates ask me for advice on how to write a good proposal for GSoC projects.  There are some good resources out there, but sometimes hard to find.

Some that I've found include:

- http://www.di.ens.fr/~baghdadi/TXT_blog/5_advices_to_get_your_proposal_accepted.lyx.html

- http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/9233/

- http://teom.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/how-to-write-a-kick-ass-proposal-for-google-summer-of-code/

Any other advice, links, or even JBoss specific tips - please add!

<disclaimer> I've been a project lead for years, but I'm a first time GSoC mentor, so the specific of GSoC expectation are a bit foggy</disclaimer>
