Hello Mridul,

The mailing list is generally rather quiet during this stage of Google Summer 
of Code, don't feel discouraged ;) From what I noticed while watching and in 
participating in last year's GSoC, it's best to show some idea of what  you're 
planning to do when you apply for the specialist assignments.

As for the proposals, yes, I heard that you're supposed to put them directly 
on the website - IIRC you can edit them later if you want. You might also 
forward it here if you're interested in some opinions, but keep in mind that 
feedback isn't really guaranteed.

Yours,
Jacek Wielemborek
