Mentors don't need to know the problem domain. The most important quality of a mentor is outstanding communication skills. The second most important quality is knowing when to be diplomatic, and when not to be diplomatic. The third most important qualities are: * How to anticipate potential issues; * How to solve problems; * How to resolve points of difference; * How to guide a group into following _The Apache Way_; * Teaching the project how to solve problems; The legacy of a good mentor, is a project that anticipates potential issues, and solves them, without ever realizing that they have done so. jonathon
