I like Niall's idea of trying out with 2 interns. The website states that the cost is $5,500 per intern and $500 for travel.
Outreachy's website [1] has a good description of the format, program etc. I don't have details in what the interns will do, my guess is that they will work on similar tasks than the GSoC folks? Maybe folks who have done the program can share more info? A champion would be the project owner, who ensures we execute on the budget request and program.
