Mentoring
If you are interested in mentoring participants, please read the mentor FAQ.

Please do not sign up to be a mentor unless you are certain you can meet the obligations of being a good mentor. If you are interested in mentoring, please send mail to Sj and leave a note below with a link to your userpage, where you should describe your background.
