The evaluation is a good idea, but it would have to be something maybe |
12 |
only devrel had access to. With the Summer of Code, many students |
13 |
leave the project after they're finished, but with a new dev they're |
14 |
just starting a (hopefully) long relationship with their mentor. I |
15 |
personally would hesitate to point out the weak points of an |
16 |
experienced developer if I were just starting out here. Something to |
17 |
think about... |
