Short application checklist:
281
+
<ol>
282
+
<li>Read the links and instructions given on this page -- All of it! we've tried to give you all the
283
+
information you need to be an awesome student applicant.
284
+
285
+
<li>Choose a sub-org (<ahref="#ideas">check the list here</a>)
286
+
287
+
<li>Talk to your prospective mentors about what they expect of student
288
+
applicants and get help from them to refine your project ideas. Listening to
289
+
your mentors' recommendations is very important at this stage!</li>
290
+
291
+
<li>Prepare a patch for that sub-org</li>
292
+
293
+
<li>Set up a blog where you will keep track of your GSoC progress</li>
294
+
295
+
<li>Write your application (with help from your mentors!)</li>
296
+
297
+
<li> Submit your application to Google before the deadline. We actually
298
+
recommend you submit a few days early in case you have internet problems or
299
+
the system is down. Google does not extend this deadline, so it's best to be
300
+
prepared early! You can edit your application up until the system
301
+
closes.</li>
302
+
</ol>
303
+
304
+
<divclass="warning"><strong>Communication</strong> is probably the most
305
+
important part of the application process. Talk to the mentors and other
306
+
developers, <em>listen</em> when they give you advice,
307
+
and demonstrate that you've understood by incorporating their feedback into
