If you want to improve your chances of selection, the #1 thing you need 
to do is talk to your potential mentors, discuss your ideas with them, 
and make sure to listen carefully to their feedback and make changes 
they suggest.

Secondly, if you're not really familiar with a project, you're probably 
going to have a higher chance of acceptance if you start by reading all 
the topics they've proposed.  These are things that the project wants 
and is willing to commit resources to, so proposing something based on 
those ideas gives you an advantage.  It's not the only path, but it 
might be the easier one!

Finally, read all the info we've provided on getting started and writing 
an application.  It starts here on our ideas page:
http://python-gsoc.org/index.html#gettingstarted

And you probably want to pay particular attention to the instructions 
given in our application template
http://python-gsoc.org/studenttemplate.html

Best of luck!
