Ok - I had half half had expected that. > I truly believe people are focusing on the wrong thing.

I have seen NO discussion on the topic of > who the mentors are and minimal discussion on how we evaluate proposals. So this then resolves into the same situation as google’s summer for code and all the other things our members do within their companies. So that reduce it to; if Outreachy wants to fund people to do `something’ but has no idea of what that `something’ is - can it find mentors within our community. And to what extend are the various communities we have willing to offer their time to this. Correct - or am I missing something ? I.e. is there a subtle difference I am missing ? As it is a bit unusual for a party to want something without know what it wants (developed as code). Dw.
