This is a follow-on task to https://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2014/5606080990150656

Every year we participate in the Google Summer of Code, we have to tell students about how to participate. There are a variety of tips and suggestions we repeatedly make.

This task involves coming up with a useful summary of things to do and not do when participating in GSoC. Note that there are three timeframes and the recommendations for each of those timeframes is different: 1) selecting an organization/project/topic, 2) creating a proposal, and 3) participation during GSoC.

You only need to cover one of them. We can create separate tasks for the other two or you can make sure your template is trivially extended by others.
