I've already 'mastered' mercurial, so I don't think git would give me too many problems. I was under the impression that it required knowing your way around the codebase, but I'm glad that's not the case. The time-issues still remain, although I might be able to solve those too before the end of this month.
As a fellow dutchman, I can report, GSoC's schedule is horrible for us. You are expected to start initial work in may-june and while that is somewhat possible, real work is supposed to start in june-july. You are expected to work upto 40 hours per week on your project. However june-july is when most universities have their end term examinations. Those require easily 60+ hours per week to finish/study for. GSoC basically expects you to spend around 100 Hours in 2 1/2 months on your project starting from may. Be very weary of this when a lotting your time.
That would be good, please [..] each case.)
The broken links I encountered were external links, so I don't think it can be fixed permanently. All links under 'AMD' on this page[1] are broken for example. It can be fixed by replacing 'Processor' with 'Embedded', but I don't think there is a permanent solution for this case. I don't remember the other broken links I encountered, but I will fix them as soon as I do.

Will do, thanks!

Prior to project acceptance, you have demonstrated that you can work with the coreboot codebase.
This is a best-case, not a worst-case, requirement.
This merely means that you must be able to use git and push commits into Gerrit and have written useful commit messages and not have millions of unrelated whitespace changes in a coherent single-logical-change-in-every-commit manner.
But both issues are hopefully resolved in 2014.
The above takes minutes to master, not years.
PS: I've discovered a few broken links throughout the Coreboot wiki. Maybe I can start participating by fixing them? :-)
That would be good, please email Stefan Reinauer to get an account, but first, what are the links and more importantly why have they broken? I would like it if we can somehoew move away from links that may break again in the future, and reference what should be essentially same information in a different more reliable way. (Sometimes this isn't possible, and we have to live with broken links, but it needs to be looked at for each case.)

I have an appointment with my facultys study support group next thursday, in which I hope to clear some things up. On IRC I already expressed my doubts about joining GSoC this year, because of the reasons you mentoined (and more). The last term of next year will be 'free' however, since I would have to write my "bachelorreferaat"* but I plan on taking a year extra to get my bachelor's degree.
Sooo, that's really it. Let's hope it all works out :)
