One thing you need is a mentor among the existing Emacs developers. If
I understand correctly, the role of a mentor is to offer advice when
needed, and help facilitate getting the code accepted.
I am completely swamped with work, so will not be able to do this, but
if any Emacs developer is able and willing to step forward, I encourage
them to do so---ASAP, because the deadline is soon.
Anyone?
Once a mentor is available, we would sign up on address@hidden
My impression is that GNU gets a certain number of slots in GSoC, but I
am not sure of the procedure for deciding which subprojects gets a slot.
But asking for a slot on that mailing list would be the first step.
