Well, the "looked after" boils down to: - I try to warn you about tackling problems which are too hard - I try to review your patches soon after they go up, instead of waiting for 1-2 weeks until they're on a countdown Although I haven't been perfect, I _have_ made an extra effort to review your patches, and I've definitely been doing it more promptly than I would have done if I wasn't officially your mentor. But I think it's appropriate for me to stop being your mentor now (or maybe in a few days, after the current round of build stuff is done), especially if you become a mentor yourself. > >- if not, would you be willing to *be* a mentor? > > Theoretically, yes.

You're familiar with doc editing, right? I mean, you know how to get going with lilydev, you know how to build the docs, you know how to write simple texinfo, upload a patch, and you know what kind of response that patch is likely to gather? That's all we need. Well, that plus a willingness to spend 1 hour each week helping somebody get through those hurdles.
