Hi!

So next years GSoC will be different and I hope it might be good for Wine. We had \
some years with less students and especially less good proposals. What changes [1]:

The project size is cut in half, instead of 350 hours per project it'll be 175 hours, \
thus the student stipend is also cut in half.

2 ealuations instead of 3, but students are not required to pass the first one, they \
can fail it and still can try to pass the second one.

The coding period will be 10 weeks and mentors can agree with students on how to \
spread the work time across those weeks. This should help with finals or other \
commitments.

Eligibility: "we will be allowing students who are 18 years old AND currently \
enrolled (or accepted into) a post-secondary academic program as of May 17, 2021 or \
have graduated from a post-secondary academic program between December 1, 2020 and \
May 17, 2021 to apply to the GSoC program. What this means is that now the program \
will be open to folks participating in a variety of different academic programs, not \
just accredited university programs. This includes licensed coding camps, community \
colleges, and many other programs that may not be accredited yet but are \
post-secondary academic programs."

What that means is that I ask everyone to go over our ideas list and adjust to the \
reduced project size. I realize that this might kick out quite some projects, but I \
also think it can attract more good students.

If you are a student reading this, feel free to start discussing your idea on the \
wine-devel mailing list [6] or the #winehackers IRC channel at freenode.net [7]
