[Soc2006] Q: about mentoring

[Timothy J. Warren]

I'm preparing to submit a proposal for a PSF project, and I'm
wondering how the mentoring works.  The project I'm looking to work
for hasn't specifically applied to be a mentor, so the proposal will
be directed to the PSF.  After submitting the proposal to the
application's development list, the project administrator volunteered
to be the mentor.

How does this work?  I didn't participate in SoC last year, so I'm
pretty new to this.  It seems like he would make an ideal candidate
for a mentor, since he's (obviously) very familiar with the
application.

I don't personally know the guy (though I'm impressed with his work),
so a mentor directly from the PSF is also fine.  I'm just wondering
how this is supposed to go.


Thanks!
