Hello everyone, @Fabian Hueske <fhue...@gmail.com> - SoD setup is a little bit different. The ASF determined that each project would be allowed to apply individually[1], rather than applying as a single large organization.
Each project applies as an org, with two organizers (administers) and at least two mentors. As Konstantin pointed out, one can be both an administer and a mentor. You don't need to coordinate with other projects or ASF at all. If accepted to the program, you will receive project proposals from tech writers [2]. You will choose one or two proposals that you want to mentor[3]. @Ken - as for the language, there isn’t any limitations in that regard, so work on the Chinese translation for the website is definitely an acceptable project.
