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.
