> h1. Purpose
> Improve comdev website navigation to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor resources.
> h1. Context
> Having been ‘away’ for a few years, this year I decided to make an attempt to re-engage with the GSoC program.
> I quickly realized that I was totally out of touch having absolutely no idea where the mentor community conversations were happening (they happen on mentors@community.apache.org) and being hopelessly unable to locate GSoC mentoring documentation via the comdev website. 
> Thankfully [~sanyam] [pointed me at the documentation|[https://lists.apache.org/thread/dqmrwzjogl3sdb2v8s36v8mxf5o1yqsj]] and I was able to get back up to speed. Thank you Sanyam :)
> h1. Challenges
> Looking at [https://community.apache.org/gsoc/], as of writing, although loads of content exists for students (which is great) no navigation exists to mentor resources. 
> In my case, this meant that I couldn’t find and entirely missed the excellent content available at [https://community.apache.org/gsoc/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html].
> h1. Proposal
> I think that a “{*}Mentors: read this{*}” Section should be added to [https://community.apache.org/gsoc/] which simply hyperlinks to the relevant content from above.
