That is always a risk one takes. However, the ILUG-D mentorship program
is significantly different in that while projects originating from both
students and mentors will be taken up, I envisage is as being largely
mentor-driven, at least in the beginning. In that case, the project
would presumably be something that the mentor is interested in keeping
alive.
Looking at the blog, the one project that I could immediately
evaluate was the Hindi one, where, as with the other localisation
projects, the claim was that these were not integrated with ongoing
translation efforts. I feel that is a serious shortcoming in the
planning of the project.
