I attach LilyPond's ideas list.

I notice that you used previous year's application; be aware that
Google's questions changed a bit.

When you will decide on this?  From what i know, LilyPond isn't on FSF
high-priority projects list (and even if it's eligible for inclusion
there's no time to do this); if this would mean that we will get very
few slots (less than 3) then we may want to consider applying to GSoC
on our own.

thanks!
