Hello, To all the potential mentors and students this year GSoC is different from all the previous seasons, so whenever you are planning/proposing/adding a project in GSoC this year, keep the following things in mind: *Smaller project size** - *all students participating in the 2021 program will be working on a 175 hour project (instead of a 350 hr project). *Shortened coding period* - the *coding period will be 10 weeks* with a lot more flexibility for the mentor and student to decide together how they want to spread the work out over the summer. *2 evaluations (instead of 3)* - There will be an evaluation after 5 weeks and the final evaluation will take place after the 10th week. -- Thank you, Pranam Lashkari, https://lpranam.github.io/
