-------------------------------------------
Summary: Improve comdev website navigation to GSoC mentor resources
Key: COMDEV-544
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-544
Project: Community Development
Issue Type: Task
Components: Website
Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
h1. Purpose
Improve comdev website navigation to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor
resources.
h1. Context
Having been ‘away’ for a few years, this year I decided to make an attempt to
re-engage with the GSoC program.
I quickly realized that I was totally out of touch having absolutely no idea
where the mentor community conversations were happening (they happen on
[email protected]) and being hopelessly unable to locate GSoC
mentoring documentation via the comdev website.
Thankfully [~sanyam] [pointed me at the
documentation|[https://lists.apache.org/thread/dqmrwzjogl3sdb2v8s36v8mxf5o1yqsj]]
and I was able to get back up to speed. Thank you Sanyam :)
h1. Challenges
Looking at [https://community.apache.org/gsoc/], as of writing, although loads
of content exists for students (which is great) no navigation exists to mentor
resources.
In my case, this meant that I couldn’t find and entirely missed the excellent
content available at [https://community.apache.org/mentoring]/.
h1. Proposal
I think that a “{*}Mentors: read this{*}” Section should be added to
[https://community.apache.org/gsoc/] which simply hyperlinks to the relevant
content from above.
