Could you let me know if any active member in River is willing to support internship program here. How about opening an internship program with specified mentor. And also what can be learned from that internship program in details. I would be able to put some of my students on board if such internship program is started in River. I am pretty sure that this will help River community largely in a long term. RegardsBishnu > > Patricia >
