Hi Tim, Graham submitted the application yesterday. It's almost same as this<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2010/Organisation_Application>. The portal is open for editing till March 12'10 . We are still looking for more project ideas, and volunteers for mentoring, if you have some ideas or anybody from OSM community has them, please feel free to edit GSoC Project Ideas 2010<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2010>page.
