According to the schedule here: http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline The GSOC 2011 has accepted organizations (including GNU), and is in this phase: phase of "March 18-27: Would-be student participants discuss application ideas with mentoring organizations." GNU's page about the process is here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2011 Gnash isn't listed under the set of "Tags", nor on the GNU project page here: http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/ideas-2011.html However Rodrigo Rodrigues da Silva mentions here that there is (was) an internal GNU deadline of March 11th: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/summer-of-code/2011-03/msg00002.html "All GNU packages interested in participating must provide a list of ideas for student projects before *March 10, 2011 at 23:00 UTC*. That doesn't strictly mean that a package can't join the list after that deadline, but we do need a good ideas list in order to be approved as a mentoring organization in the first place." If someone's interested in applying for a project, I'd hop on IRC, find a Gnash core dev to agree to be a mentor, and approach da Silva. Because we're so late in the process the chances seem slim. But it doesn't hurt to go for it if you would really like to spend time improving Gnash.
