We have two mentors right now. It will be great if we can have 2 more mentors so that each student has 2 different mentors. This time project ideas are nice and involves good amount of work. So having more mentors will help. Let me know if you want to help a student contribute to open source and help them to develop cool things for Mercurial project.
