* Thinking ahead, 'Google Season of Docs' has typically announced/opened their program in Feb-March.  Are there small/large doc projects worth getting into GSOD so a paid freelance technical writer/coder can take it on for 6-9 months? Successful examples ranging from document creation to doc infrastructure - [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/participants 2021] [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/2020/participants 2020] [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/2019/participants 2019]
