Unless I misremember, it's up to the students to create a proposal
that "sells" the project (and themselves). People at Google (or was it
the accepted organization? can't remember..) then vote on the
proposals, scores are counted and approval/rejection of the proposal
and the project is done.

For this particular project, I'd imagine a student should do some
pre-study to determine what services nicely overlap as far as google
APIs are concerned - I'd imagine gmail + todo to be a good choice, for
example, since google buzz apis seem unrelated (ostatus). Buzz
supports could be a separate project.
