Why Linux needs a mentor program

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

It was interesting to read your article on 
http://business.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/09/13/1816200&tid=35. It 
was particularly relevant to me since Fedora very recently started a 
mentoring program[1] to get users and developers to participate and get 
involved in Fedora is a better way. While its not a entirely new idea or 
effort its good to see we set ourselves in the right direction. The 
amount of involvement required to take it to Linux on the whole is 
enormous.  I believe we already do that in a modular fashion in the form 
of various help sites like http://linuxquestions.org for users or 
http://kernelnewbies.org for developers. A central place to list and 
combine all these efforts might work better rather doing it from scratch

regards
Rahul
