You're not too late. You ahve until April 8 to submit a proposal. See
the timeline:
http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline

It is better if you can start your proposal early so that you can
discuss it on this mailing list.

You are doing things right. You need to choose one of the ideas from the
ideas page and build a strong proposal about it. I recommend that you
share an overall description of your project on this mailing list so
that you can get feedback about what is most important.
