I hadn't really considered that to be completely honest... I'm kind of at some 
point in between needing a mentor for this, and wanting to mentor it. On the 
one hand, I know what needs to happen, and how to do it to make this spin 
happen so wouldn't really be sure what to do with a mentore... But on the 
other hand, I don't really feel that I am qualified to be mentor to someone 
else at the current time.
I suppose we can just leave it as "an idea I'm throwing out right now" :)
