I think applications are only open to organisations who have taken part in GSoC before. They might make an exception for us (because we're kinda a corner-case) or not but I think we'll have to convince MediaWiki to take part and go that way. That being said it was a hell of a lot of work for me and the rest of my team at KDE. You'll have to be very responsive during the whole time of the contest which can be quite hard, especially for a small org. It's still an awesome program of course and definitely worth considering if we think we can do it resource-wise. The kids were really really cool last year and we got a lot of the stuff done that usually runs as "oh yeah I'll get that done one day when I have an hour or two". > The Google Code-In differs from the Google Summer of Code in a few > ways: it's over the winter, not the summer; it's for high school > students, not college students; and every student tries to complete as > many little projects as possible (which can consist of documentation, > bug fixes, etc.), instead of working on one big project.

I think the deadline is actually November 1st.
