[gsoc] FAQ #1: How do we handle multiple people wanting to do the same project?

[Anil Saldhana]

Students are encouraged (according to gsoc faq) to contact the 
respective projects - their IRC, email lists etc and talk with them if 
needed.
They then submit their proposal (in my view we can think of this as a 
combination of resume and design document) via the google site.

At the least, we should allow all interested students to submit 
proposals. It will be unfortunate if we lose a good student due to process.
