Hi Dale, thanks for the interest! At the moment, I'm thinking that mentoring should be on a task by task basis, and that we have a wiki page with a table to track tasks that need to be done. The table could have headings like this:
- Task overview - JIRA link (if applicable) - What are the benefits of the task to stratos? - What you need to do the task (e.g. Environment and knowledge) - What you will learn from doing the task - Approx effort of task - Mentor and contact email - Mentee (when assigned) What do you think?
