Dear Gentleman and good ladies, It is true that most of resource people will be getting requests from college students for the topics and mentor-ship for their projects. It is also necessary for the students to learn few basic things (as listed in previous mail) before starting projects.
The problem for us is to know where and how to start with. And it is impossible for the mentors to spoon feed every student and teach everything. So, I suggest the mentors, to start a blog for themself (for mentorship), to list out the link urls, useful books and other resources in internet about the technology, which help the students to self start. And after having some basic knowledge, the students can do small codings and then personally contact the mentors. Suppose, if there are 4 mentors, good in Drupal, they can list the links suggesting the students to learn prior doing a project with drupal. So the students can go through the posts of 4 mentors, finds the best which fits his/her need. And if the mentors find little more time, they can write posts in their own language so that the whole student community will be grateful to you. So, the mentor list will be more useful if it is like, NAME - EMAIL ID - BLOG ADDRESS - TECHNOLOGY I personaly give the above opinion as I have spent a lots of time in searching resources (and couldnt find any resource that starts from basics). Anyhow there are a lot of experienced professionals and mentors who have better options and opinions which might be better than that of mine. So, continue discussing.
