Hello,

In Apache Airflow we have some people who have some ideas around improving
our documentation and we would like to participate in Google Season of Docs.

https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs

We already participated in 2019 and back then it was agreed that the
projects should submit their proposals individually (not as Apache Software
Foundation but as Apache Airflow) because that increased the chances of
getting more projects (there were limits of projects per organisation).

However looking at the FAQ [1], there are significant changes this year and
they require much more of an "organization" to manage - i.e. Google will
give grants to the organisations, and the organizations are supposed to pay
the writers. So it is much more "formal" and I am not sure how it plays
with the ASF rules.

Is there anyone who could help with that?

Here is the relevant part from the FAQ:

How does the current program differ from Season of Docs 2019 and 2020?
The current Season of Docs program has significant changes from prior
years, including:

* Technical writers no longer apply through Google to be matched with
organizations
* Organizations submit project proposals as part of their application,
including a budget and proposed metrics
* Accepted organizations receive grants, which they use to pay technical
writers
* Organizations submit final evaluations and case studies
