This is a template that you can use for a [[Summer of content 2007]] project proposal/application (they are the same thing). Anybody can make a new project proposal - even if you are not a mentor or an intern, or interested in working on a particular project. For an example of usage, see the [[OLPC volunteers portal]] project proposal. If you have any questions, please [[Talk:Summer_of_content_FAQ|ask us!]]

'''How to use this form:'''
# '''Add the template to a page.''' Copy-paste the text '''<nowiki>{{subst:Summer of Content application}}</nowiki>''' into a new or existing wiki page with the name of your proposed project. Save the page, and then open it for editing again (this pastes the application template into your page and automatically adds it to the list of projects).
# '''Describe the project.''' Fill in the project description. You don't need to finish this or put in a lot of detail, but put in enough so that people can see the general idea and begin contributing thoughts and refinements of their own.
# '''Add your information to the page (optional).''' If you are interested in being involved in this project, add yourself to the ''Interested interns,'' ''Interested mentors,'' or ''Other interested parties'' section.

Project description

There is no set format for this section, and it can be as long or as short as you want. What do you want to do, why do you want to do it, and how will it happen? What kinds of people would be good at working on this? How will you know if you've succeeded? What similar things have been done before? You can supplement (and should) your application with external links to helpful resources, but a reader should be able to understand the project you are proposing even if they only read the abstract you've written here.
