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,

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?
