For connectors, before we propose anything we've got to know what will
be available as infrastructure.  We need to know what repositories we
can assume might be available.  Can anyone fill us in on that?

It's usually not too time consuming, maybe 5 hours a week.  The key thing to stress is that all technical interactions w/ the mentee take place on the list.  Off list mentoring is for personal issues (vacation, emergencies, etc.)  The whole point is to teach how open source works.

I'm happy to be a mentor. (I currently don't have time to put together a
proposal, but would happily comment on any.)
