* **Quality of the proposal**: This is the most important thing. A good proposal includes attention to detail, externally measurable milestones, consideration for future maintainability and community involvement, and a demonstration of your skills.

* **Community involvement**: One of our major goals for GSoC is to build an active development community and attract long-term contributors. Engaging in the community, whether it's asking questions, helping other students, contributing code, filing bugs, or whatever else, is a good sign that you're actually interested in our work and our projects.

Things we look for (among others): asking specific and detailed questions, following up on conversations, making sure to read available resources before asking questions, being patient and responding to critical feedback well.

Proposal quality is very important, code and community contributions help for different reasons. We are hoping that GSoC will lead to long term contributions to CC, and we see being involved in the community as a sign of general interest in our work.
