Hi Evan,

There was an unfinished project on this last year, so it would be good
if you could make use of that work. You should take that into account
in your proposal. I've cc'd the author.

We can ask you questions on your proposal in the review system after
you submit. For skill requirements, you should be reasonably
proficient in C# or other high-level OO programming languages. For
deliverables, you should propose something you realistically think you
can deliver - we try to give you space to make the proposal your own.

For some more advice, check out the Rules
(http://mono-project.com/GSoC_Rules) and the application template
(http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/show/google/gsoc2010/mono).
