I've opened a PR in the git.github.io repo to create a mostly empty ideas document for GSoC 2022. Here's the link for reference: https://github.com/git/git.github.io/pull/540 Once that's merged, anyone could feel free to open PRs with their ideas to this document: https://github.com/git/git.github.io/blob/master/SoC-2022-Ideas.md (note: currently returns a 404; it should work if the PR is merged) Alternatively, if you share information about a project idea here, I would be glad to add them to the document. For some motivation, you could see the project ideas page of 2021: https://git.github.io/SoC-2021-Ideas/ -- Sivaraam
