that sounds nice. however, I'm afraid that in practice the "can [...] mentor newcomers" is a bit optimistic (at least if "can" means "have the bandwidth to") eg the multimedia team (which I'm a proud member of) is really not very much of a "team" (with people working *together* on a bunch of packages), at least in my impression (which might be totally off). in practice, it is more of a "lowNMU" team, and that's it. I don't really see how there would be enough bandwidth to do actual mentoring and stuff. other people might have similar experiences with other teams. so probably the wiki page should mention "all" the various teams (with links), telling people that they can/should/... contact them; but still have a curated list of "best practice" teams, that feel like they can invest significantly on mentoring. mfh.her.fsr IOhannes
