==== Organization's previous experience ====
This section provides the Season of Docs program administrators with information on your open source organization's previous experience with mentorship and working with documentation or technical writers.
* ''What previous experience has your organization had in documentation or collaborating with technical writers?''
* If you or any of your mentors have worked with technical writers before, or have developed documentation, mention this in your answer. Describe the documentation that you produced and the ways in which you worked with the technical writer. For example, describe any review processes that you used, or how the technical writer's skills were useful to your project. Explain how this previous experience may help you to work with a technical writer in Season of Docs.
Our mentors have ample experience working with technical writers as part of their professional careers. Our experience includes: 
* Managing E2E software development including the day to day management of a team of technical writers to launch and deliver consumer facing products.
* Working tightly with technical writers, building and writing documentation together.
* Producing documentation as individual contributors for both open source projects and professional projects.

* ''What previous experience has your organization had mentoring individuals?''
* If you or any of your mentors have taken part in Google Summer of Code or a similar program that mentors individuals, mention this in your answer. Describe your achievements in that program. Explain how this experience may influence the way you work in Season of Docs.
Since 2007, ScummVM participated almost each year to the Google Summer of Code. Ths gave us the opportunity to mentor 54 students over the years. 45 of them were successful at the end of the summer,  and some of them even stayed as developers and even mentors after this program.
Even if technical writers are working on a completely different aspect of the project, we are confident we will be able to mentor them properly based on our professional experience and on our GSoC experience.

==== Mentoring Capacity ====
Your organization must have at least two open source mentors for each technical writing project/technical writer that you plan to accept for this year's Season of Docs. You need the mentors to help during the technical writer exploration and application phases, as well as during doc development.

Season of Docs 2020 plans to allocate one or two technical writers per organization. Your request for one or two technical writers won't affect whether we choose your organization, but we need to know how many technical writers your organization wants to mentor so that we can accept the correct number of organizations to fill all the available technical writing slots.

Mentors who are not also organization administrators must register independently.
