Hi, As I was Google Summer of Code student last year I know how much important it is for a student to have a mentor who will review the patches or provide pointer to the right person for a particular topic. I would love to work with a student and happy to see a new contributor in mercurial community. If there is a project where I can be a part of mentoring, I am very much interested to have that opportunity.
