<h3>When talking to the mentors, use the following questions to introuduce yourself:</h3>

<h2>Applying to GSoC</h2>

60-
<ul>
61-
<li>What interests you most about our project?</li>
62-
<li>What is your background, and what made you pick the specific idea?</li>
63-
<li>What is your familiarity with the recommended technologies?</li>
64-
<li>As mentors and project coordinators, how can we get the best out of you?</li>
65-
<li>Is there anything that you’ll be studying or working on whilst working alongside us?</li>
66-
</ul>
110+
<p>
111+
After reviewing the project ideas and getting started guidance, reach out
112+
in Slack. Contact the project mentor(s) if you have questions about a
113+
specific project idea.

115+
If multiple mentors are listed, create a thread with all mentors. This
116+
helps us give more efficient and consistent feedback.

<h3>Writing a good proposal</h3>
118+
Becoming part of the community before submitting a proposal is important.
119+
Proposals submitted at the last minute, without prior engagement with the
120+
project or mentors, are much less likely to be competitive.
71121

72-
Next, write and submit your GSoC proposal after discussing this with the mentor. In the proposal make sure to
73-
include a well-defined, weekly schedule with clear milestones and deliverables around it. Make sure to include
74-
in your schedule any time you need to learn new technologies, as well as make sure that before the
75-
evaluations dates, you have a deliverable that we can use to evaluate. We understand that schedules change, but it
76-
would be good to add some must haves to your list of deliverables that will make your project a success as well
77-
as some extra goals in case you have additional time at the end.
122+
Once you have gotten acquainted with the project and discussed your
123+
interests with potential mentors, you can begin drafting your proposal.
124+
A strong proposal should include a realistic timeline, clear milestones,
125+
and concrete deliverables.
