You are welcome.

I am sure it will be.

Sure, Have a look on the URL I send you
( http://wiki.scilab.org/Contributor_-_Debugger ) . At the bottom, you
will find documentations from R, Ruby, Python and others.
I am pretty sure you will find some technical documentations, otherwise,
you can still download the code to see how they did it.
And anyway, I am confident there are some tutorials on the web about
this kind of issue.

> 2)  Can I apply to other projects as well ?
Sure. 
However, try to focus on a few projects. It takes some time to write a
good proposal.

> 3)  What should I ideally be doing to get picked ?
Have a look here:
http://wiki.scilab.org/How_to_apply_to_the_GSOC_%3F

> 4)  what is IRC channel for scilab on freenode ?
http://www.scilab.org/communities/developer_zone/tools/irc
Don't forget that most of us are french and mostly connected during the
week.
