             Summary: Improve comdev website navigation to GSoC mentor resources

h1. Purpose

Improve comdev website navigation to Google Summer of Code (GSoC) mentor 
resources.
h1. Context

Having been ‘away’ for a few years, this year I decided to make an attempt to 
re-engage with the GSoC program.

I quickly realized that I was totally out of touch having absolutely no idea 
where the mentor community conversations were happening (they happen on 
ment...@community.apache.org) and being hopelessly unable to locate GSoC 
mentoring documentation via the comdev website. 

Thankfully [~sanyam] [pointed me at the 
documentation|[https://lists.apache.org/thread/dqmrwzjogl3sdb2v8s36v8mxf5o1yqsj]]
 and I was able to get back up to speed. Thank you Sanyam :)
h1. Challenges

Looking at [https://community.apache.org/gsoc/], as of writing, although loads 
of content exists for students (which is great) no navigation exists to mentor 
resources. 

In my case, this meant that I couldn’t find and entirely missed the excellent 
content available at [https://community.apache.org/mentoring]/.
h1. Proposal

I think that a “{*}Mentors: read this{*}” Section should be added to 
[https://community.apache.org/gsoc/] which simply hyperlinks to the relevant 
content from above.
