    docs: Instructions for writing the GSoC application
    
    Copied from
    https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreach/SummerOfCode/Students#Fill_out_the_Application
    and fixed just because they require planning the work in two-week
    increments.

+short-description: How to fill out the application to GSoC
+...
+
+# Fill out the Application
+
+Once the students applications period has opened (see
+[schedule](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline)),
+you have to submit your application on Google's Summer of Code website.
+Your application must be written in English. **Copy and
+paste all questions below into your application form and answer all of
+them. Do not skip any question, if you do, your proposal will be
+invalid**:
+
+ * What is your e-mail address and IRC nick?
+ * What is your blog address? Note: having a blog is required for a valid proposal, you can create a free 
one on, e.g., [gitlab.com](https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-gitlab/).
+ * What city and country will you reside in during the summer?
+ * What is your academic background, including university, major, and expected or achieved graduation date 
for any degree you have or are pursuing?
+ * Who is a possible mentor for the project you are proposing?
+ * What is the ultimate goal of your proposal?
+ * What [applications/libraries](Architecture.md) will the proposed work modify or create?
+ * What benefits does your proposed work have for the Pitivi/GStreamer/GNOME community?
+ * Why are you the right person to work on this project?
+ * How do you plan to achieve completion of your project?
+   * Please provide a sequence of tasks and subtasks and how long (days) you estimate it will take you to 
complete each of them.
+ * What are your past experiences with the open source world as a user and as a contributor?
+   * Please include links to any code you wrote for open source projects.
+ * What other relevant projects have you worked on previously and what knowledge you gained from working on 
them?
+ * What other time commitments, such as school work, exams, research, another job, planned vacation, etc., 
will you have between May 18th and August 10th? What are the dates for these commitments and how many hours a 
week do these commitments take?
+
+Please be factual and clear in answering these questions. Feel free to
+add anything else that is relevant for your application.
+
+It is never too early to start working on your GSoC application! By
+large, the most time consuming part of the application is writing the
+sequence of tasks for completing the project. Split the work in small
+easily approachable parts.
+
+To write a strong application, make sure what you are proposing is a
+manageable and agreed-upon project. Demonstrate clearly your knowledge,
+skills, and enthusiasm.
