New Subsection Under GSoC

Purpose

This subsection aims to serve as a document for current and past year Google Summer of Code (GSoC) ideas, as well as potential ideas for Google Season of Docs (GSoD) [In Future] . By incorporating this subsection into our documentation, we provide valuable information to newcomers about ongoing and past GSoC projects. Additionally, it serves as a means to showcase our accomplishments in GSoC and potentially GSoD in the future.

Proposed Content

  • Current Year GSoC Ideas: A list of project ideas for the current year's GSoC program.
  • Past Year GSoC Ideas: A compilation of project ideas from previous years' GSoC editions. [Year Wise]
  • Potential GSoD Ideas: Suggestions for projects that could be undertaken in Google Season of Docs. [In Future]

Benefits

  • Information Accessibility: Newcomers will have easy access to information regarding ongoing and past GSoC projects, fostering awareness and interest.
  • Accomplishment Showcase: By documenting past GSoC projects, we highlight the organization's achievements and contributions to open source development.
  • Future Planning: The inclusion of potential GSoD ideas enables us to prepare for future participation in the program and expand our contributions to documentation.

Implementation Plan

  1. Documentation Update: Introduce the new subsection within our documentation structure, clearly outlining its purpose and contents. Google Doc Link For Content
  2. Regular Updates: Maintain the subsection by updating it with new GSoC ideas each year and revising past ideas as necessary.
  3. Promotion and Awareness: Publicize the existence of the subsection to the community, encouraging participation in GSoC and GSoD initiatives.

Additional Suggestions

  • Success Stories: Incorporate success stories from past GSoC and GSoD participants to inspire and motivate prospective contributors.

Conclusion

The addition of a GSoC and GSoD subsection to our documentation not only enhances information accessibility but also strengthens our engagement with these valuable programs. By showcasing our involvement and accomplishments, we demonstrate our commitment to fostering open source collaboration and community growth.

Great proposal! It's comprehensive and well-organized. One suggestion is to focus solely on project ideas from years when our organization was selected for GSoC and GSoD. This approach would highlight our successful participation and showcase the projects that have been implemented, which can be more relevant and informative for newcomers and potential applicants.

Overall, this addition could provide a more focused and impactful overview of our organization's engagement with the programs.

Sounds good to feature the ideas on the community handbook, but I would recommend having Season of Docs as a separate page, because it's an entirely different project with different aims.

Feel free to make the PR. We will know the projects for this year's GSoC shortly!
