In fact, I have just learned that our deadline to file project _is_ February 9th. Having good ideas is part of the ASF's application process.
Here's a TL;DR of the instructions: 0. ASF members and committers can be mentors; find one for any project idea. 1. Mentors: understand what it means to be a mentor [1]. 2. Mentors: create a JIRA issue for each idea: 2A. assign to the mentor. 2B. label with "gsoc2017" and "mentor"; a JIRA search for these is at [2]. 2C. label with _prerequisites_ such as programming language, tools, area. More info about ASF+GSOC is at [3].
