I haven't looked into GSoD this year. However, the scope of a GSoD project has to be sufficient for the amount of time that is allocated by GSoD. They had 2 project lengths when we last participated - short & long. Projects need to be defined accordingly. It is a lot of work and I personally don't have time to select and mentor the technical writers. I can definitely help guide the application process as I think we also require someone from the PMC to actually submit the application. Nate helped me out when we last participated in GSoD so I'll be happy to help out on that front.
Here's the page we created for tracking the GSoD Participation and project ideas: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA/Cassandra+GSoD+2019+application It would be a good idea to do something similar and get a sense of where our documentation is lacking and then proceed from there. > On Mar 8, 2022, at 1:56 PM, Lorina Poland <polan...@apache.org> wrote: > > I'm willing to take the lead on GSoD.
