Hi, 
   So, The GitLab hosting project has been scrubbed and replaced with packaging. What about the GSOC submission? Anyways , the change is not the issue. A few days back Vit sent me links about packaging[1][2], I have already started on it . But then still , how would the change in project idea affect my evaluation , as I understand it changes the whole proposal idea so should I change my proposal accordingly and am I allowed to do so now?

So, this idea has changed a lot since it was on the idea page.

Basically the current thing that needs doing is packaging gitlab and
all it's vast dependencies into Fedora/EPEL. This will allow anyone
interested in running it to simply yum install it and go, which will be
great. :)

This would allow us down the road to deploy one in Fedora
Infrastructure if it meets our needs. (and it would use the normal RFR
process at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Request_For_Resources?rd=Infrastructure/RFR
)
See discussion on the infrastructure list about how gitlab may or may
not meet our needs (mostly around how they handle public repos).
Additionally, if we do decide to setup gitlab, I think it very likely
we would NOT move all our hosted projects to it, but instead allow it
as a opt-in or additional resource (possibly even allowing anyone with
a fedora account to just make their own projects there).

So, I would suggest you re-work your proposal as packging it up (or
choose another one if you are not interested in packaging).

I've reworked the suggestions page:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Summer_coding_ideas_for_2013&diff=prev&oldid=335470
to better reflect this.

Sorry for the confusion.
