GSoC, OPW and similar programs do expect a reasonable familiarity with
the project as well as appreciation of how large projects work (eg.
communication methods, bug tracker, documentation etc). Particularly,

is relevant.

10. Should students contact the mentoring organization before the
program begins?

If you're interested in contributing to a particular open source
project, there's no need to wait forGoogle Summer of Code to start;
start talking in the project's IRC channel, subscribe to the
development mailing lists, take a look through the bug tracker and
submit a patch. If you see something that you think would make a
particularly good project for Google Summer of Code, why not suggest
it to the organization?
