Yet we are openand can add project proposals before the application deadline (Feb. 7th).
Do not wait until the last day, especially that having VVC yet in review does not make it easier to describe/define.
The project needs to extend the decoder, mere upstreaming should not be enough IIUC.
Also yes, it is highly preferable to have something upstream before project start end of Mai.

Most importantly define a valid project and find a mentor with the time and abilities needed.
Having a (co-)mentor is also especially if you want to mentor it yourself.
