I am not sure what "planner" and "document prep" mean exactly to you, and what "the problem" is. I replied to your other email and I hope it helps, but maybe in my replies here and to your other email I am missing something. In this case please let me know. We are ok to describe projects in a few sentences or paragraphs, like in https://git.github.io/SoC-2021-Ideas/ where we describe the projects we propose, but for GSoC and Outreachy, applicants interested in a project are those who actually write the proposals which usually include a timeline. I am sure not, but it looks to me like you would like us (not you) to write a full proposal including a timeline. For example the proposal in https://docs.google.com/document/d/119k-Xa4CKOt5rC1gg1cqPr6H3MvdgTUizndJGAo1Erk/edit which includes a timeline was fully writen by ZheNing Hu, and was then accepted by us, so that ZheNing Hu could then participate in the GSoC 2021 and start the actual work. https://lore.kernel.org/git/pull.989.git.1625155693.gitgitgadget@xxxxxxxxx/ shows some of the work he did and sent to the mailing list as part of the GSoC. https://github.blog/2021-11-15-highlights-from-git-2-34/ is not especially related to any GSoC. https://lore.kernel.org/git/CAOLTT8S8TxuTmddGp2WGoPtTc3gwGXzizBfVzKd87otRw7Dpiw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ is a discussion about the Outreachy Winter 2021-2022 round (not GSoC) where ZheNing Hu accepted to co-mentor with me someone who would work on continuing Hariom's GSoC 2020 "Unify ref-filter formats with other \-\-pretty formats" project. As there were no Outreachy applicants interested in working on this, we proposed this same project to the upcoming GSoC. So I don't see any problem that we should take up with the links you listed. If someone would have it write a full proposal and a detailed timeline it would be you, not us. Of course, as you propose to work outside GSoC and Outreachy, we don't require that from you, because you would not be part of any such official program and wouldn't get paid. I hope I don't misunderstand what you said.
