Google Summer of Code 2012 has started.  The Git Development Community has time till March 9 to submit organization application.

The problem (beside finding volunteer for the position of GSoC administrator) is that both GSoC application and ideas for GSoC projects were hosted on Git Wiki... but Git Wiki is still only parially functional, available only as static pages under changed URLs.

I guess we can get by without having fully functional wiki for creating application (if we decide to apply), but it would need a forum to send ideas for GSoC projects and some place to publish them. Editable wiki can work as both, though git mailing list and some static page (perhaps home pages for git project on GitHub?) could also work.

I don't know what are ETA on bringing Git Wiki fully up, but I doubt it would be possible at http://git.wiki.kernel.org -- it is more than two months since the event and wiki is not functional yet. Perhaps it could be hosted at git-scm.com somewhere - but it really should be true wiki, editable without need to use git.
