A good starting point for more information about developing for 
Evergreen is our ideas page [1] and our documentation of the developer 
virtual image [2], which is probably the fastest way for you to get up 
and running with a test Evergreen system.

Our main application requirement is that students should submit a patch 
or point to a Git branch that fixes a small bug or adds a small 
enhancement to Evergreen.  In the case of folks like you who you are 
interested in proposing to develop an Android app for Evergreen, 
pointing to a demo Android app would strengthen one's application, but 
we still require that the GSoC application include a patch that improves 
Evergreen.  A demo Android app that can interact with Evergreen in a 
small but meaningful way (i.e., it would have to do more than just embed 
the Evergreen public catalog interface in a WebView widget) would meet 
the requirement.
