Google Season of Docs

For all the GSoC potential tech writers, @kenshino will be replying to any open questions end of this week if mentors don’t get a chance to, it’s highly recommended for all mentors to make direct and public replies so that other scan read and benefit from it too. There are two posts with questions/comments from potential tech writers – https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2020/05/12/season-of-docs-technical-writer-exploration-may-11-june-8/ and https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2020/05/01/season-of-docs-project-list-idea/
