This is what the Google page for technical writers says https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/tech-writer-guide
> Do you have technical writing skills and experience? Season of Docs is not intended to teach basic technical writing skills. Are you self-motivated and organized? And also speaking personally, I would prefer to have someone who has technical writing experience already for GSoD, as the whole point of the program is to bring that expertise to the open source projects. Note, if you are a college student, you can apply for Google Summer of Code (see https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Student-Instructions).
