Piotr I am copy information form the other discussion regarding GSoC.

The application deadline is tomorrow.  We then have until 13 of April to rank
and select students.
As far as I am aware, no one else is applying for this project.  But
please, do not think that there's a slot for every project, or that we
will select a student just because there's no one else.
