Hello All,

I'll try to provide some context via top-posting :)))

Initially Ideas can be represented as JIRA filter and it works for everyone :)
Later on Google made separate "Ideas list" required
(IMO such a list is used to check Organisation has enough projects so
it can be accepted)
So having big enough list of good ideas is a must to be accepted

"February 3 - 18 -- Google program administrators review organization
applications"

So the actual deadline is Feb3. In case our "Ideas page" is not ready
by this date we might not be accepted as an org.

Final list of GSoC project can be formed until "March 16"
To be accepted by Google project should have
 - contributor
 - 2 mentors (1 primary mentor, and 1 backup mentor, not sure if this
is soft or hard rule)
 - should be ranked high enough during ASF internal ranking phase

BTW all GSoC related topics should be discussed at
[email protected] ML (in TO field)
