@subheading What is Google Summer of Code?
-A global program run by Google that offers students stipends for working
-on open source software projects during summer vacations.
+@uref{https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/, GSoC} is a global
+program that offers students stipends to write code for free software
+and open source projects during the summer. It is an excellent
+opportunity for students to gain experience with real-world software
+development and make a contribution that benefits everyone. It brings
+new contributors to LilyPond and enables students who are already
+involved to become more involved. LilyPond participates in GSoC as part
+of the @uref{http://www.gnu.org/, GNU project}.
+
+We have had GSoC participants in 2012 and 2015 and encourage students to
+apply for future summers.
-It is an excellent opportunity to find new contributors, and encourage
-students already participating in LilyPond development, to become more
-involved. One of our contributors was accepted in the 2012 program as
-part of the @uref{http://www.gnu.org/, GNU project}; and we are always
-looking for others to participate in future programs.
+If you have questions or would like to apply, send us an email on our

+@subheading ScholarLY
+
+ScholarLY is a library in
+@uref{https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets, openLilyLib} that
+provides functionality for annotating scores, making it possible
+to manage scholarly workflows completely in the context of the score
+document. So far it is possible to enter annotations of different
+types, produce clickable messages in the console output and export
+to text and LaTeX files.
+
+There are numerous feature requests to turn this library into an
+even more powerful and comprehensive tool, for example: Inserting
+music examples, producing footnotes, automatically applying styles
+to the annotated item (e.g. dash a slur, parenthesize an accidental),
+creating reports with point-and-click entries. For a full description
+of this project suggestion please visit
+@uref{https://github.com/openlilylib/scholarly/wiki/GSoC}.
