Since I introduced the word "MENTOR" here in incubator.apache.org (also, the word "CHAMPION" :-), I'd like to comment on it. "Mentoring" Coach should *not* feel the "responsibilities" of the activities of XYZ. Rather, should have the sense of the "feelings" of the community dynamism, the way of the psychological "lift" of the motivations of the developers etc. Noel, you have much an experience. Berin, you *DO* have. Stephen, you do have. Aaron, you have. Leo, you have. And Nicola, we "DO" hope you do have because you are Chair of the PMC. ... such a feeling you can coach the new participants to apache.org... I wanted to describe such "expectations" .. to be encapsulized in the word, "MENTOR". Before we perceive the definitions of the *responsibilities* of the "MENTOR" role, I'd like to see the REAL "MENTORING" coach's behaviours. You all can do it. Yay. I hope your happy new year.
