Hi,
see the mail from Stephanie Taylor from Google cited below. For the
mentoring organization selection process by Google project ideas are
essentially important. So please populate your idea lists as soon as
possible.
Google asks this to be done by this Monday, 19:00 UTC.
Please read the mail cited below.

Subject: [GSoC Mentors] GSoC Org Ideas List should be solid by this
Monday at 19:00 UTC for review

Hi all,
It seems quite a few veteran orgs have 0, or very few, projects listed
on their Ideas List for their GSoC Org apps. Some have something like
"coming soon" with no actual ideas on their page - *this will result in
an automatic rejection* - please don't let that be you!
Our team has been reviewing hundreds of applications this week and
taking notes and we have noticed MANY orgs that have not completed their
lists (have 1-2 ideas or ideas with 1 sentence describing the problem)
or say 'coming in March', 'coming soon', etc. That's a 'Reject in our book.
We will meet Monday, Jan 29 as a team to start our multi day meetings
going through each and every org application together so you have until
Monday at 19:00 UTC to get your ideas onto your list. You can always add
more ideas later but if you are an Umbrella Org you should have plenty
of ideas listed now - and if you are a smaller org you should have 4-5
well developed ideas minimum.
And please don't just link to a bug tracker. If the bug tracker has
extensive descriptions about the project/problem then that can sometimes
be fine. But just saying here are 5 things we want worked on and a
sentence about each isn't going to cut it.
*If you are an Org Admin I strongly encourage you to go back and look at
your Ideas List before Monday at 19:00 UTC and make sure it is
representative of what you want us to evaluate. *
Every year we have a few orgs who give us bad URLs or don't give us
access permission to see their Project Ideas List. Again, please don't
be that org... (your community will not be happy).
Remember, *_the #1 thing our team considers when choosing which orgs to
accept is the quality of the Project Ideas list_*. If you have nothing
for us to look at we have to reject you.
Please don't ask us to go and see if your application is okay. If you
have a solid Project Ideas List and have read the Defining a Project
Ideas list from the Mentor Guide
<https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/defining-a-project-ideas-list> and
followed the advice your list is likely good to go.
Best,
Stephanie
