One of the mentors asked me today what an accepted proposal might look like.
There are a few resources out there, this one is considered to be canonical by many and well-referenced:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCStudentGuide/ch008_writing-a-proposal/
I don't think any past proposals are viewable, but if someone finds a link to a set of accepted proposals, that would be great.
Here is a set of proposals that came in for the Fedora Summer Coding 2010 that I ran independently of GSoC (the year Fedora Project didn't get in to GSoC.)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Summer_Coding_2010_proposals
... and here is the list of accepted projects:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010_projects
Many of the mentors who worked with those students and/or helped write the proposals were GSoC mentors in previous years.

An additional aspect I'd like to highlight is the judicious spacing of the milestones. This allows the student, the mentor and the organization achieve a tangible artifact during the mid-term assessment.
