I have written up the organization application for Google Season of Docs here https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoD-2021-Organization-Application. I have based it on the idea for improving the organization of documentation. The application template is here https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/org-proposal-template. If anyone has any suggestions for it, let me know. Also if you are a technical writer interested in working with us on this project, please feel free to reach out.
If you are interested in helping to mentor Google Season of Docs, please let me know. Reminder that Google Season of Docs works a little differently this year. In previous works, it worked a lot like Google Summer of Code, but this year, it is more like a grant program. We apply to Google for the project we want to do (in this case, documentation organization), and if Google accepts the project, they give us the money, which we then use to hire a technical writer. See https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/admin-guide. One thing I am still a little unsure about is the budget. I don't think we need to budget anything other than the technical writer. As far as the amount to budget for the technical writer, the Google administrators have recommended using the Write the Docs salary survey as a guide (https://www.writethedocs.org/surveys/salary-survey/2019/). The budget should be between $5,000 and $10,000. The deadline to submit is March 26.
