I stopped being an AM largely as a result of the introduction of the templated questions. I felt that all I was doing was shooting enormous reams of paperwork at applicants which I didn't really felt helped with anything. Dumping these enormous reams of questions on the applicants didn't feel like it was giving any insight into their cluefulness, it felt like it was assessing their ability to pass exams and meaning that if someone struggled the whole thing turned into a mentoring process rather than an assessment process. If I was going to mentor someone I probably wouldn't be doing it with this sort of exam style process but with something a bit softer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
