Right now only the admins and mentors can see applications.
Maybe Niall can confirm?
Tomorrow after student applications close we'll firstly run several passes to filter out the time wasting applications, which include any applications which do not follow the submission template. We've already issued warnings to all such applicants. Some mentors have already commented on applications privately or publicly. Right now 26 serious proposals have been submitted. About 20 of these are strong. Four are from previous GSoC students with Boost, and are therefore highly likely to be selected. We normally get seven or eight slots each year. After the admins and mentors feel happy with the proposals we've filtered, we'll ask the Boost community to rank them, probably straight after submission closes. That process is usually complete within a week. We then send our recommendations to Google. Google then return a list of which candidates they'll fund. Several rounds of bartering ensue, including with other open source orgs. It takes many weeks. Winners are announced end of April.
