My first suggestion is to create a project of Mentors, as a subproject of |
| 2 |
ComRes and coprojects with Recruiters and Comrel. |
| 3 |
Then it could assume a place on irc using #gentoo-mentors. And possibly a |
| 4 |
grouping created for them on the forums? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Mentor wannabes who wanna help out would join the project as members and |
| 7 |
thus advertise their availability for wannabe devs in search of mentors. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Right now, the biggest weakness I see is a lack of organized visibility. |
| 10 |
Having it as an official project, with a member list, would make potential |
| 11 |
mentors much easier to find. |
