Gale is right about the distinction. Per 
http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-annou
nce/web/guide-to-the-gsoc-web-app-for-student-applicants
, 
you need a Google account, but not gmail.

So the mistake was in our template 
(http://www.audacityteam.org/wiki/index.ph
p?title=Writing_GSoC_Proposals). 
Fixed it to just say "e-mail address".

 Thanks.

Sorry students, but I didn't know the reason the template
had required 
Gmail, but we *do* require it, per the next-to-last entry on

http://www.audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=GSoC_
FAQ. I've changed 
the Writing_GSoC_Proposals page to correct that.

Thanks,
Vaughan
