I hope you are receiving mails from GSoC Mentors list.<br>
<br>
We might need to revamp our Ideas page. Although there are tasks on<br>
Ideas list, we might have to work on verifying which tasks are doable<br>
and have potential mentors for, this year. Brainstorm any new ideas<br>
that we can add would also help.<br>
<br>
Devs,<br>
<br>
Please add detailed ideas to the list, if any.<br>

Subject: [GSoC Mentors] GSoC Org Ideas List should be solid by this<br>
Monday at 19:00 UTC for review<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
It seems quite a few veteran orgs have 0, or very few, projects listed<br>
on their Ideas List for their GSoC Org apps. Some have something like<br>
"coming soon" with no actual ideas on their page - this will result in<br>
an automatic rejection - please don't let that be you!<br>
<br>
Our team has been reviewing hundreds of applications this week and<br>
taking notes and we have noticed MANY orgs that have not completed<br>
their lists (have 1-2 ideas or ideas with 1 sentence describing the<br>
problem) or say 'coming in March', 'coming soon', etc. That's a<br>
'Reject in our book.<br>
<br>
We will meet Monday, Jan 29 as a team to start our multi day meetings<br>
going through each and every org application together so you have<br>
until Monday at 19:00 UTC to get your ideas onto your list. You can<br>
always add more ideas later but if you are an Umbrella Org you should<br>
have plenty of ideas listed now - and if you are a smaller org you<br>
should have 4-5 well developed ideas minimum.<br>
<br>
And please don't just link to a bug tracker. If the bug tracker has<br>
extensive descriptions about the project/problem then that can<br>
sometimes be fine. But just saying here are 5 things we want worked on<br>
and a sentence about each isn't going to cut it.<br>
<br>
If you are an Org Admin I strongly encourage you to go back and look<br>
at your Ideas List before Monday at 19:00 UTC and make sure it is<br>
representative of what you want us to evaluate.<br>
<br>
Every year we have a few orgs who give us bad URLs or don't give us<br>
access permission to see their Project Ideas List. Again, please don't<br>
be that org... (your community will not be happy).<br>
<br>
Remember, the #1 thing our team considers when choosing which orgs to<br>
accept is the quality of the Project Ideas list. If you have nothing<br>
for us to look at we have to reject you.<br>
<br>
Please don't ask us to go and see if your application is okay. If you<br>
have a solid Project Ideas List and have read the Defining a Project<br>
Ideas list from the Mentor Guide and followed the advice your list is<br>
likely good to go.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Stephanie<br>
