From the google site -
We will begin accepting student applications on Monday, March 24th; the
deadline for student applications is Monday, March 31, 2008. Please see
the program timeline for specific deadline times.

You have less than two days to get your application in.

From what I can find it is a dead project and probably was lost in the
transfers from the gborg to pgfoundry switch.

If you want the old project as a starting point you will need to find
someone that has a copy of it. (or who has backups of gborg cvs)

Try a search of the mailing list archives for pl/mono and you will find
a few threads on it. A couple of them might help you find someone with a
copy of it.
