Thanks Jason. Just to clarify, are you able to help with both the application (due April 23) and the mentoring?
I also think we should apply. I read some more on their site. Apparently as part of their pilot, they are only going to have 50 slots, with a max of 2 slots per project (https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/faq#slot-allocation). I guess this means they will be accepting about 25 orgs, so depending on how popular this is, we may need to work extra hard to get accepted. Here are the instructions for the application https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/organization-application-hints. If you want to start thinking of project ideas, that would be helpful. Feel free to start a page on the wiki for this. We won't know what the actual application form looks like until it opens on April 2.
