Projects for the next Outreachy round

Hi everyone, especially Shuqi and Kousik,

September 29 is the deadline for proposing Outreachy projects. As we have at least one mentor for now (me), we should propose at least one project though.

All ideas for projects are welcome, don't hesitate to suggest one! But the simplest would be to continue one of the projects we proposed for this year's GSoC which is just over. By the way, congrats to Shuqi and Kousik for successfully completing their projects!

So Shuqi and Kousik, please tell us if you would like to continue working on your projects or if it's Ok if we propose them for Outreachy.

About "Unifying the pretty and ref-filter formats", I don't think there are a lot more atoms to work on, but maybe that would be enough work if Kousik stopped working on it after his current work on mailmap options for some atom is merged (which might happen soon).

About the "More Sparse Index Integrations" Shuqi worked on, mentored by Victoria, I am likely not the best person to mentor it, but I think I could manage. It would be nice though if I got an idea about what should be done next and how much work is left in general in this area. (Shuqi's GSoC final report at https://cheskaqiqi.github.io/2023/08/22/Final/ doesn't talk much about this.) Perhaps even if Shuqi is continuing to work on the project, there is still work that could be done in parallel on other commands than the ones he is working on.

Sorry for the late request, but please let me know soon about this.

Thanks, Christian.
