Hi. From the above description, and the linked web page, it's still not at all clear to me exactly what the Mentoring consists of. I'm _guessing_ that it's not simply teaching someone how to use IRC, email clients, and a bug-tracking website... could you fill in a little more detail about what will be covered? Obviously, I'm new here, but I'm already using the mailing lists, and have used launchpad regarding a bug I'd encountered (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/joystick/+bug/45930 - at the bottom). No IRC yet, but maybe I'll add that when I feel I could give it proper attention. As to some of the details of team structure, etc., I could certainly be more informed; however, I expect to learn it through continued participation on this list. -- Micah J.
