Hi Henrik, I am happy to give feedback to project ideas - but they ultimately need to be registered by prospective mentors on JIRA with the "gsoc" tag to be considered a "subscribed idea".
The project idea JIRA should have a "high level" overview of what the project is: - What is the problem statement? - Rough plan on how to approach the problem. - What are the main milestones/deliverables? (ie. code/benchmark/framework/blog post etc) - What prior knowledge is required to complete the task? - What warm-up tasks can the candidate do to ramp up for the project? The mentor will work with potential participants to refine the high level description into smaller subtasks at a later stage (during candidate application period).
