Hi Henry and Kasper, I have seen the request for soliciting mentors for MetaModel come up a few times on the general list and apologize for not stepping up earlier. Part of my hesitation is that I have not been a mentor to other projects before and hence am not sure if I can do justice to this request. That said, I am happy to volunteer myself as a mentor if you don't mind bearing the cost of my learning curve.
It would be great if more experienced mentors out there can find sometime to help guide this project to successful incorporation within Apache.
