Hi all!
As a part of the EasierMotuing push Daniel added a MOTU Mentoring
page [1] to the MOTU wiki. The idea with this program is to get people
who aren't familiar with our communication tools (IRC, mailing lists,
launchpad) and team structure (who are the MOTUs and what things can
MOTU Hopefuls do, etc.). It is "initial" mentoring and is not designed
to provide one-on-one teaching of packaging. We will be starting up the
MOTU School again for that kind of thing.
On thing that I changed was instead of having a column for
Availability (which was basically populated with variants of "busy") in
the mentor list I put a column for how many people the mentor is willing
to take. dholbach, crimsun, siretart, Gloubiboulga, slomo, and raphink
can you guys please update the Mentors page accordingly with your info?
Any other MOTUs that want to help out are certainly welcome to.

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.
Good points, I've revamped the wiki page a bit. I've also replaced the
"open slots" column with a "active MOTU areas". I think trying to
determine availability is perhaps not a good idea (we would have to
update it often to be useful). Any suggestions for other useful
info/features?
