Folks,
I've been on the selection committee for the PSU GSoC projects for the last couple of years; one of my colleagues, Bart Massey, is pretty-well tied in with the Google selection process. We will talk on Wednesday, and I'll try and get the inside track on what it will take to get accepted as an organization.
Appended is our conversation so far.

I think it can't hurt to apply again. I plan to try to bug Chris, Greg, Leslie and the gang again to try to improve the org selection process, which is unarguably a bit broken currently.
If it doesn't work out, I'd also be willing to put a Squeak project up for PSU. I need to start getting a project list together for this year. I'm hoping you'd be willing to be on the PSU board again this year?
I want to talk to you about open source stuff in any case and make some plans. Late Monday afternoon or sometime Tuesday morning or early afternoon?
Bart

Apparently, last year the Squeak Foundation was rejected as being "not mainstream", whatever that means.

Good andrew. I really hope that this year we could get more chance because some projects are so uninteresting.... and squeak much more fun ....

Hi Andrew,
how did your talk go?
Giovanni
Well, the talk went on to other things.
I was advised to sign up for the mailing list, which I can't find, so that we are not caught unawares.
But the opening date for applications (5th March) is now published: see
http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=60302&topic=10727
We should have something ready to go on that date.
Note that we also have to READ our google mail!
Many of our ideas are "internal": they benefit Squeak. It would be good to have ideas that reach out to user communities and give wider benefit. Such as Seaside — what can we do in Squeak to help web developers migrate to Seaside. (I know — write documentation.)

Unfortunately, documentation projects can't apply for SoC :-/ . As for the other proposal, there are some that can benefit the user community: better IDEs, GTK+ toolkit bindings, Ralph's collaborative environment.
Keith, since you're working with both Seaside and Magma, do you have any ideas in that area that could be interesting for SoC?
Giovanni
Seaside on rails would be good. Having a template mechanism to build much faster web app using magritte

As would a deployment architecture/management/load balancing system - like signal tower - or we had one called apollo at Amazon to manage all the instances.

Those are good ideas. Go ahead and add them to the list and find someone to act as mentor for them.
