In general, you're much more likely to be accepted for GSoC if you have prior contributions to Factor to show off. This demonstrates to us that you're engaged in the Factor project and capable of writing good code within Factor's unique model. The experience you would get in this way would help you be capable of competing the task, too. Even short of contributions, having some Factor code you've written to show us would also help. The code doesn't need to be in the area that the project is; the important thing is to show that you can do Factor. For many people, the big thing of GSoC is not the money Google pays you but the mentorship opportunities. If you're one of these people, regardless of the GSoC outcome, you should be aware (if you're not already) that the Factor community, though the mailing list and #concatenative IRC channel, is already willing to mentor people who are working on libraries or applications in Factor. I personally would be willing to mentor anyone who comes to me wanting to contribute to Factor, and I'm already doing this with one contributor.
