TSoC as an acronym is never really introduced and not something we use on the other blog posts / pages. I don't know that we need this acronym.

Thanks, it's a good point. Jay's project was unfortunately not an official GSoC project, but it was essentially a "Typelevel Summer of Code" project, so I was trying to find a way to acknowledge that.

Every year we usually have some strong contributions outside of the official program. Sadly, I historically left them out of this blog post, because I have a vague recollection that Google required it as a kind of "official report" 🤔 but in any case, I would like to change that practice, and find a way to acknowledge these projects and their mentors.

Let met take a second pass at that.
