 == Requirements ==
-There are only two requirements of students submitting Boost projects:
+Students must submit a proposal. A template for the proposal can be found here [wiki:SoCSubmissionTemplate here]. Hints for writing a good proposal can be found [wiki:SoCHints here].
 
- * Develop a proposal
- * Complete an aptitude test

-These requirements also entail interacting with the Boost community on the development mailing list (http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html), checking source code out of the Boost Subversion repository, programming, and compiling a project.
