hi gentleman,
i'm extremely sorry that my english is too bad that everyone
misunderstand my idea. I dont mean that the mentors have to spoonfeed
the students through blogs. I never mean that i should get honey
sitting in my place itself. Even i hate tasting honey without some of
my effort in getting it. Let me explain what i really mean.
Suppose, you are a mentor with skills in javascript and xml. And you
have created an orkut application.
Now your blog will contain the following info. .
* project title, description
* tools and technology used (here js,xml)
* detailed description (about 10-15lines)
* pre requistics to get through the project (here, knowledge of js,
xml, a google account, webspace to hold application)
* links for source code, documentation etc. .
And thats it. Now we can examine the pre requistics, get knowledge
through internet, practice some sample codes and then get into the
project.
If i want to develop an orkut application, i dont have to disturb you.
I can go through your blog, get an idea, practice it and get back to
you if i get any doubts.
Instead of one person personaly contacting a mentor, and some other
day someone again contacting same mentor, for same reason then it
kills some time of the mentor. If the discussion is open, anyone can
know it, participate in it. . (that is real open source, right?).
Infact, the mailing list is a good option for that, but searching the
previous mails, or repeating same questions will add little
difficulty.
You can notice some mails with the blog address of the mentor. So if
need that project later, i have to search my mailbox again or post a
mail again regarding the project. So, i suggest to add the blog
address along with the mentor name, mail id, and technology which is
already there.
And dear gentlemen and good ladies, I personaly apologize to each one
of you, if I mean anything wrong. Im really sorry.
Regards,
K.Prawin
