On that note, in case anyone wants to participate in the report review, I left a TODO note to the wiki page [1] on the list of podling reports I haven't really looked at in more detail yet. I'm planning to cover them all by Wednesday next week, but will definitely appreciate help from people with an extra cycle or two. :-) Just pick one from the list (ideally one that you aren't directly mentoring), read the submitted report (if one exists!) and compare it to the previous report (for most podlings that's the one from December [2]) and a quick browsing of things like the podling status page [3], web site, list archives and svn commit history. Then, if needed, follow up with a "$podling status" mail to general@ for any feedback or questions that you may have. You may also place the podling in the appropriate category in the report summary if the review gave you a good enough picture of the podling status. A quick review like that takes about 15 minutes and should give at least a general idea of how accurate and complete the submitted report is. A review like that certainly can't replace or compete with hands-on participation and oversight that good mentoring provides, but seems to work fine as a discussion opener and at least identify areas where further help may be needed.
