seems Google cut by half the number of accepted organizations this year:

     http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2012

and X.Org didn't get in - I didn't hear if the Foundation applied as 
mentoring organization actually. So one interested on Wayland 
development should try to send the proposals to the siblings communities 
like GNOME, KDE, libva, kernel, among others.
