This isn't about "seeking more" - literally a perfectly qualified [potential] mentor fell in your lap. Do what you want, this just feels incredibly counter-cultural to me - that is, to actively turn away an eminently qualified volunteer. I think it's both unwise in this specific instance and a poor example to hint that its acceptable/desirable in general. Anyway, best wishes to Fineract... Thanks, --tim ** Just to be clear, I'm well aware that the other three mentors are rock solid as well:) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
