If you are new to wikis, check out Wikieducator's excellent tutorials for an introduction.

  • Create a mentor profile for yourself either by editing this page manually (click the "edit" button on the top) or by clicking the "Apply as a mentor" button here:

<inputbox> type=comment default=Summer of Content mentors buttonlabel=Apply as a mentor bgcolor=#fffcf9 preload=Summer of Content mentor application break=no </inputbox>

  • If your organization is listed in the Summer of Content organizations list, email the main contact listed for your organization and notify them that you have applied as a mentor.
  • If your organization is not listed, put "freelance" as your organization (or better yet, convince your organization to join!)
  • Check out the projects on the projects page; add your ideas, comment on existing ones, and add your names to the projects you're interested in.
