Oh wow, I didn't see it because i searched for 'haskell' in the tags, not
the name of the org!
Do you know if they are open to beginners applying?

If you don't know the language to the point where you can write
something of benefit to the community then I doubt that your proposal
will be accepted, unless it's something really special. There's a
section where you list your experience on the proposal template.
Basically, if you don't know Haskell at all, it's unlikely that you can
come up with a proposal that will be deemed satisfactory and justifying
a 3 month project. After all, if someone more experienced can do it in
few evenings, it's quite a waste of a slot to accept such a project.
If you *do* have a project which would benefit the Haskell community and
you think you can complete it in 3 months (and that it's not the case of
few evenings for anyone slightly experienced) then please do ask around.
It really depends what you mean by ?beginner?. Obviously not only people
with 15 years of industrial experience with Haskell are accepted but
someone who is only looking to learn the language will probably not do.
We have some proposals bouncing around on the haskell-cafe mailing list.
There is just over 6 days left for them so if you have a proposal, it's
probably worthwhile to get feedback on it ASAP.
We also have #haskell-gsoc channel on Freenode where you can ask questions.
Hope that clears it up. Please note that I'm not speaking for the whole
organisation but merely as an individual.
