Question regarding gSoc 2024

[Nitish Jha]

Hello everyone,

I'm Nitish, a computer science student from India. I'm eager to contribute to 
FreeType for Google Summer of Code 2024, and I have a few questions.

As I was exploring the idea list, I noticed that the build system project was 
listed as an idea for GSoC 23. I'm interested in this project, but I'm 
uncertain if the ideas listed on https://freetype.org/gsoc.html are intended 
for GSoC 24. At the top of the page, it states, "The FreeType project 
participates in Google Summer of Code 2023. Here is our list of possible 
projects." If these ideas are not for GSoC 24, could you please direct me to 
where I can find the ideas for GSoC 24?

Additionally, I'm curious if there are any communication channels like Discord 
or Slack available for FreeType, where contributors can discuss project ideas 
and collaborate effectively.

Thank you for your assistance.
