Just to let everybody know, the application is submitted. For reference, I've updated the submitted application text here:

  http://git.github.io/SoC-2014-Org-Application.html

I've collected the discussion on the list on the ideas page:

  http://git.github.io/SoC-2014-Ideas.html

Google folks will be looking at it over the next week, but prospective students probably won't see it until we are accepted to the program, which would happen Feb 24th.

Please feel free to continue discussing or updating the ideas page in the meantime. I think there is enough there already to show Google what we are thinking about, but ultimately the students are the ones whom the page is meant to serve. Anything we can do to improve it before they read it is a good thing.
