Tips for Making a Google Summer of Code Proposal | Developing a Software Project Plan

Today I was contacted by a student asking for help writing a Google Summer of Code proposal. With the deadline fast approaching in the next day or so, it's probably cutting it a bit late to start working on a proposal for this year's GSoC - but as every student will know, it's not a deadline if you're not waiting till the last minute to scramble up something, right ;)

 

While the advice below was written with the particular student's project in mind, I think the general concepts here are applicable to any software project, so I've decided to repost this info here in the hope that it may help others out there build better software in future.
