Engaging Mentors
Now that Storm has gotten its final non-Apache release (0.9.0) out the door [1], we’re ready to dig in and focus entirely on migrating to Apache.
Until now, we’ve not been all that focused on embracing the Apache process (we’ve been trying to get 0.9.0 out to a waiting community), and so haven’t needed much from our mentors (i.e. I’m not finding fault with our mentors at all.).
No that that’s changed, what’s the best way to catch our mentors’ attention? Is it just an email to dev@ with a subject line prepended with “[MENTORS]”, or is there a better way?
Just looking for a way to separate signal from noise for our mentors.

I should point out that this discussion caught my eye (being a mentor of
Storm).

Christian is right. We are watching the lists and follow the discussions,
but do look for DISCUSS, VOTE, or MENTOR flags especially.

Taylor,
your mentors should read the mailing lists. Why I would not expect to
get answers when a question is hidden in a technical detail question, a
subject line with [MENTOR] in it should draw attention. I expect mentors
to read all subject lines.
Other tags mentors should watch is [VOTE] or [DISCUSS] or anything on
private@.
However we have often the case that mentors are awol. If you are not
able to get anything out from your mentors please hit general@ again
with your question.
Cheers,
Christian
