Buddhike, again thanks for all the hard work. The submission deadline
seems reasonable.

Yes, these sections do appear a little confusing to me as well, perhaps
merging them into one with the following steps would be a little more
clear (open for revisions, can put this on the wiki if you want)

1) login to the fedoraproject.org/wiki using your Fedora Account Credentials

2) Navigate to  the following URL,  replacing <UserName> with your
fedora username

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=GSOC_2012/Student_Application_<UserName>&action=edit

3) Populate the form on this page with the contents of the following,
filling in the necessary details:

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=GSOC_2012/Student_Application_Template/Common&action=edit

(make sure to _omit_ the <pre> tags)

4) save the page and then click 'watch this page' at the top

5) Navigate to the following URL, replacing <UserName> with your fedora
username and <ProposalName> with the name of your proposal

 https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=GSOC_2012/Student_Application_<Username>/<ProposalName>&action=edit

6) Populate the form on this page with the contents of the following,
filling in the necessary details

 https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=GSOC_2012/Student_Application_Template/Proposal&action=edit

(make sure to _omit_ the <pre> tags)

7) Save the page and then click 'watch this page' at the top

8) Repeat steps 5-7 for additional proposals you would like to submit

If you need help visit

sample proposal at
