[Soc2006] Q: about mentoring

[Timothy J. Warren]

Looking over the mentor information on the PSF moin, it looks like I
should have him contact Neal Norwitz -- is this correct?


Also, is it ok to post my proposal here to get feedback from the PSF,
or should I just go ahead and submit it?


Thanks!

Timothy J. Warren
