Are there any restrictions on 'mentor groups'? For instance, could we create a 'mentors' mailing list, closed subscriptions, that contained those willing to actively mentor, so that those being mentor'd have multiple ppl's knowledge's to feed upon?

My participation would be limited to the actual number of newcomers. I feel comfortable helping 2 or 3 people; any more than that would impact my clients and consulting time. Although, it would never hurt to have additional mentors :).

We have a whole TODO list of potential items for people to work on, and we have several member of this list that work for universities in some capacity, so istm we ought to give it a shot. I would think this is something that the foundation would be good to be involved in as well, as it would certainly help it all appear official. We just need to tie up the loose ends on who would be available to do the mentoring, which might need to be different people depending on the work involved, unless you think you could handle all comers Jonah?

Marc,

If you wanted to submit PostgreSQL to Google for this, I'd be willing to
work with any potentials.  Should someone choose to work on PostgreSQL
projects, the money can go to the group.

If anyone sees a problem with submitting under the PostgreSQL Global
Development Group, I can do it under my company.

Thoughts?

Might be something to help fun, say, the GiST stuff?  Just need to
find a student that could be mentor'd/directed/brought up to speed?
