	~~We are seeing a many people who are trying to register in our site~~ and posting a proposal right now, about 10 hours before the student's submission deadline (8th April 19:00 UTC). This is a bad practice, but anyway, if you really really want to be in anyway, this is what I suggest:
	* skip the registration below
	* ensure you post a proposal on google, but please '''USE the Proposal example 2''' in ~~[http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/faqs#student_app here]. If you just submit to us your base data, your proposal has ZERO chances to be approved.~~
	* connect to IRC [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=planeshift-prospects here] and speak with Talad or weltall about your willingness to participate.
	* Here is the [http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/fullscreen.html?mode=a&year=2011&month=4&day=8&hour=19&min=~~00&sec~~=~~00 students final deadline].~~

			== What to do meanwhile ==

	~~The program just started, and~~ it~~'s important for you to understand what's needed~~ and ~~how~~ to ~~proceed~~. ~~These are the main next milestones~~:		* [http://www.planeshift.it/sources.html Download our sources] and start to familiarize with the code.

	~~'''March 18-27''' : Would-be student participants discuss application ideas with mentoring organizations. '''If you didn't complete this step before 27 March, don't worry,~~ you are ~~still in time, but hurry up to complete the following steps!''' The real deadline is in the next chapter. For this part of the program, we ask~~ you ~~to do the following:~~		== What to do if you are sure you will not be selected ==

	* Review our ideas list below.		First of all don't lose faith! And wait the official results.
	* Create an account on [http://planeshift.ezpcusa.com/nexus/newapplicant.php this web app] (nexus) so we can more easily track your profile.

	** Select "Programming" as department
	** In the section "Previous Experiences" paste the questions present in the section "Background" in our [[gsoc student template]], with your answers.
	** In the section "RPG Experience" you can list what's your knowledge of RPG games, but it's not required for GSoC.
	** In the section "Portfolio" paste the questions present in the section "Google Summer Of Code" in our [[gsoc student template]], with your answers.
	* Connect to our IRC channel at irc.freenode.net #planeshift-prospects
	* Discuss and improve the current ideas together with us.
	* You need to create your proposal document and be ready to submit it to google in the next phase. If we collaborate a bit on the proposal, there are higher chances the project will be successful. You can find a FAQ on the proposal document [http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/faqs#student_app here]. '''Please refer to Proposal example 2 in there'''.
	* [COMPLETED, no more events planned] <del>Participate in game to the event name "GSoC students welcome", you can find the date and time in our [http://www.planeshift.it/events.php event calendar].

Your presence there is not required to be part of gsoc, but can be fun and a different way to have a chat, also you will see better our current software.</del>
	* [http://www.planeshift.it/sources.html Download our sources] and start to familiarize with the code. [https://planeshift.svn.sf.net/svnroot/planeshift/trunk/docs/compiling.html Build our server and client] if you want to go one step further!
	* Read [http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/03/dos-and-donts-of-google-summer-of-code.html this article], it'~~s very useful~~!
	~~The main output of this phase is for you to get a good understanding of our organization, our goals and the ideas. But it's also~~ the ~~time for you to contribute and to make a proposal on how you would like to implement a specific idea~~.
