 === Proposal Guidelines ===
 
-'''Submit your proposal early''': early submissions get more attention from developers for the simple fact that they have more time to dedicate to reading them. The more people see it, the more it'll get known.

+During [wiki:SummerOfCode/2019 GSOC 2019] we had two successful web / infrastructure projects which we would like to see improved further. This is the main section with ideas where Mac is not really needed (even though it probably helps boosting your motivation if you can contribute to a project that you use or plan to use yourself).
