 it going sometime in 2006 and that didn't take either. But, seems like a
 decent place to start anyway... maybe _this_ time it'll work. (Actually
 serious; the difference being precisely because of having a formalized
 program behind it.)

 Maybe.

 Sure, that seems fine.

 My only concern with this whole concept is that we're going to run very
 short on Mentors and find ourselves in the same situation we currently
 have with packaging sponsors.
