Great proposal! It's comprehensive and well-organized. One suggestion is to focus solely on project ideas from years when our organization was selected for GSoC and GSoD. This approach would highlight our successful participation and showcase the projects that have been implemented, which can be more relevant and informative for newcomers and potential applicants.

Overall, this addition could provide a more focused and impactful overview of our organization's engagement with the programs.

Sounds good to feature the ideas on the community handbook, but I would recommend having Season of Docs as a separate page, because it's an entirely different project with different aims.

Feel free to make the PR. We will know the projects for this year's GSoC shortly!
