-- Headings focus on functionality rather than user tasks 
-- There’s an abundance of familiar terms overloaded with new definitions
-- Information is organized haphazardly and inconsistently
-- The new user experience is confusing, with artificially high barriers to entry
+## 2023 project proposals
 
-Help Project Contour reorganize its documentation around a user's task flow and improve documentation navigability.
+CNCF project maintainers interested in mentoring a technical writer have until **March 14th, 2023** to submit a [documentation proposal](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/docs/org-proposal-template) for your CNCF project.
 
-### How would we measure success?
+Well-scoped projects have:
+- Clear scope: what will and won't a writer work on?
+- Clear goals: when does the writer's work end?
+- Clear metrics: how will you and the writer know you've succeeded?
+- Clear budgeting: what are your project costs for a writer?
 
-- Shorter onramp time for new users
-- Increased support deflections by using docs 
-- Docs provide effective 1 to many support, measured in fewer requests for 1:1 support from project team
-- Create a getting started guide for new Contour users
-- Optimize content for actual developer and user workflows
-- Provide consistent presentation: adhere to style guide, headings are consistent, and language is grammatically correct
+Complete your proposal by **March 14th, 2021.** Due to anticipated volume, projects submitted after March 14th may not be considered.
 
-### What skills does a writer need?
-
-Required:
-- Familiarity with Git, Markdown and Hugo 
-
-Nice to have:
-- Distributed systems experience: networking, containers, Kubernetes and Envoy in particular
-
-### Volunteers
-
-- @celestehorgan – Lead for technical writing mentorship; approver for work
-- @jonasrosland – Main point of contact for Contour and approver for work
-- @stevesloka, @krisss, @youngnick – Technical experts and PR approvers
-
-### Budget
-
-Total budget: $15,000 USD
-
-Writer: $14,350
-Volunteers: 4 @ $100
-Stickers: $100
-T-shirts: $150
-
