I don't think these ideas are at odds. Rather than a job description,
it could be, "Typical duties of an Ambassador," and the mentoring +
guide can lead people in the door.

We just want to avoid a strict description that locks in too little
and leaves out too much. I know people are a great representatives of
Fedora, but cannot or will not do the various steps to get the title.
I'd rather see us be more inclusive without being too diluted.

That sounds like a great guide to write on the wiki. I personally
dislike slide presentations for conveying depth of information -- they
are naturally compressed compared to full paragraphs of content.
