-Students wishing to participate in GSoC must realize this is a formal commitment to produce code for the selected OWASP Project during three months.

You don't have to be a proven developer -- in fact, this whole program is meant to facilitate joining OWASP and other Open Source communities.

 Coming up with an interesting idea is probably the most difficult part of all. It should be something interesting for an OWASP Project, and more importantly for you. It also has to be something that you can realistically achieve in the time available to you.
-Finding out what the most pressing issues are in the projects you're interested in is a good start. You can optionally join the mailing lists for that project: you can make acquaintance with developers and your potential mentor, as well as start learning the codebase. We recommend strongly doing that and we will look favourably on applications from students who have started to act like Open Source developers.

 '''Know what you are talking about:''' the last thing we need is for students to submit ideas that cannot be accomplished realistically or ideas that aren't even remotely related to OWASP Projects.

 When subscribing yourself as a mentor, please make sure that your application or module maintainer is aware of that. Ask him/her to send the Summer of Code OWASP Administrators an email confirming to know you. This is just a formality to make sure you are a real person we can trust -- the administrators cannot know all active developers by their Google account ID.
