Hi s0h3ck.  We've just added our application template to our GSoC Profile
page here:

https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org2/google/gsoc2015/nmap

I think Google will start accepting applications on Monday the 16th.

Once Google starts accepting applications, I think they will give you an
HTML form you can fill out.  Including a link to a Google doc instead is
fine.

We don't even know how many student slots we that Google will sponsor until
April 15 and then we need time to decide what projects to do and what
applicants to accept and who to mentor them.  And we also need to deal with
cases where other orgs may want to accept the same student.  So we don't
even know exactly who will be accepted until shortly before the April 27
public announcement date.  And even when we're pretty sure about someone,
Google doesn't allow us to notify them before the official mail goes out.

I hope this helps, and good luck with your application!

Cheers,
Fyodor
