Hi,

we have applied and Google's organization team is looking through the 
organization applications. There they have seen that we are missing 
important information:

1. Project size
---------------

There are 3 project sizes available:

- Large: 350 hours
- Medium: 175 hours
- Small: 90 hours

Large was the original project size of GSoC, 3 months full-time. During 
the time Medium as half-size projects got added, and this year we have 
also Small as quarter-size projects.

There is no requirement to offer all sizes and you can change the sizes 
depending on student proposals.

Please add the aimed-for size to EACH of your listed project proposals ASAP.


2. Level of difficulty
----------------------

This is an important orientation mark for contributor candidates with 
different experience to find the most suitable projects.

Please mark EACH of your project proposals with a level of "easy", 
"intermediate", or "difficult" ASAP.


3. Requirements
---------------

Another important orientation mark: Tell here in which programming 
languages your project is written, which libraries are used, is it 
Desktop, AI, server, cloud, ... So you will get contributors who already 
have experience in fields important for your project.

Please tell for EACH of your project proposals which 
knowledge/experiemce is required or helpful ASAP.


As an example see the project idea list of OpenPrinting:

https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/gsoc/google-summer-code-2024-openprinting-projects

Also do the following ASAP:

- Remove project propoals which are already done or which you do not 
want to do any more this year

- Remove your workgroup's page and the link to it on the main page if 
you do not want to mentor GSoC projects under the Linux Foundation 
umbrella this year.

- Remove the "To be updated" on your group page when you are done with 
your project idea list.

If you are not able to edit, tell me ASAP so that I can give you edit 
rights. Tell me the e-mail address to use for the account. You will then 
get an invitation e-mail from the Linux Foundation. Please follow the 
instructions in the e-mail and you will be able to edit.

Please fix your project idea listings ASAP, and please remove your group 
ASAP if you do not want to mentor this year. Also do not forget to 
remove the "To be updated".

If you do not answer and your group page shows evidence of not being 
edited for this year, we will remove it.

    Till
