In my experience, GSoC can easily backfire on unprepared organizations.
And I think we are a bit young, as an organization, to successfully
participate.

The deadlines are just around the corner, not sure rushing our first
participation is a good idea. I'd rather discuss of a full plan in one
of the 2011 design summits, to have a well-organized effort for GSoC 2012.
