Petteri, I assumed this was already the case and it makes perfect sense to me. There's one thing that you're not addressing though. We have different types of developers amongst us, so how do we count the 6 months period? Let me explain more fully. At this point, I could mentor someone into becoming a new moderator in the forums, but I don't think anyone would support me being an ebuild dev mentor - not being one myself yet. IIRC, documentation devs don't need to be ebuild devs. Does anyone propose that I could be a docs dev mentor - not being part of the team? Finally, should a 6+ month ebuild dev, recently becoming part of the docs or forums moderation team, be allowed to be a mentor for those teams? Perhaps we should require that the dev be part of Gentoo for at least six months and in the case of mentoring for the forums or the docs team, that he/she has the blessing of the team lead(s) - in case the dev isn't part of the respective team for at least X months. Do we want X to be 6 months? Anyone agrees/disagrees? -- Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo-forums / Userrel -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
