Google is going to be reviewing our ideas page to decide if we will be selected or not this weekend, so if you were planning on updating the ideas page, please do so now.
Google has emailed us to ask us to make sure that every idea includes a project length (either 175 hours or 350 hours). I have added project lengths to the existing ideas, but please check that these are correct. If you add a new idea, please make sure to include this. They also requested that each idea has the following information a) a project title/description b) more detailed description of the project (2-5+ sentences) c) expected outcomes d) skills required/preferred e) possible mentors f) expected size of project (175 or 350 hour) g) an easy, medium or hard difficulty rating of each project. So make sure to use the template on https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-Ideas when adding an idea.
