You mean popular within the pool of mentors (IPMC), the project can still be popular on several other scales. I might lack experience, but why do more active mentors guarantee that the podling will be a better TLP ? We try to solve the problem of mentors not being active but adding more volume. I don't believe that is the right cure. I do agree with bernard that it is the podling that should ask for help....but the IPMC should solve it., rgds jan i > > > Regards, > Alan > > -- Sent from My iPad, sorry for any misspellings.
