I would suggest against planning spending time outside of GSoC. It's 
like we don't like it :-) But that it's historically not worked out and 
it's easier to measure progress, which we report to Google, on the state 
of the project. Although splitting a larger project into parts, and only 
doing the first that fit within the time line is fine way to approach 
the limitations of a Summer program.

Multiple applications are fine. But historically we go for the "better" 
applications. So if you are sure you can make two quality applications, 
go for it. If not, you probably want to stick to making one of them the 
best it can be.
