Hi everyone,

thanks @Aizhamal Nurmamat kyzy <aizha...@google.com>. As we only have one
week left until the application deadline, I went ahead and created a
document for the project ideas [1]. I have added the description for the
"stream processing concepts" as well as the "deployment & operations
documentation" project idea. Please let me know what you think, edit &
comment. We also need descriptions for the other two projects (Table
API/SQL & Flink Internals). @Fabian/@Jark/@Stephan can you chime in?

Any more project ideas?

Best,

Konstantin
