Note that for Season of Docs applicants, metions of "code contributions" in this guide are somewhat synonymous with documentation contributions, and we would like to see both code and documentation related contributions from Season of Docs applicants to show a well rounded skill set.

The final step is to create a draft application and share it with your chosen project's mentors for feedback. **Do not wait until the last minute to do this.** You should ideally get at least two rounds of feedback from the mentors before you submit your final application. For more details, see the *Draft Application* section below.

If you're applying via Outreachy, remember to record your contribution via the Outreachy website! You can record contributions even if you have not yet received feedback on them or if they have not been merged – our mentors are busy so we can be slow to provide feedback.

#### Contributing Documentation

If you are applying for Google Season of Docs, one of the best ways you can contribute to documentation is to find places where documentation can be improved, and open an issue for it on GitHub. Be sure to state what, specifically, could be improved, and how you plan to improve it.

## Application

Your final application is very important to us. This is what we will use to determine how well you understand the project and how likely you are to successfully complete it. As part of the application, you should take the project description and flesh it out into a more detailed project plan and implementation timeline. The project descriptions are all fairly short and some of them include multiple paths for the project. So, we expect you to do a lot of work here to turn those into a feasible plan and timeline for a complete project that you can ship during your internship.
