I thought this is what #ubuntu-motu was for? Since we started the MOTU mentoring process it has seemed to me that there are fewer people willing to ask questions on #ubuntu-motu. I am increasingly PM'ed with packaging questions. NOTE: I don't have statistics, this is my impression. I'm curious from those who are "mentoring" if they see near-term progress towards being a MOTU from their charges? It appears to me that people who don't have a mentor are being demotivated and thinking they can't participate. At least I see less activity from new hopefuls on #ubuntu-motu. Now this may have all been picked up by the mentors list and so I'm off base, but my impression is that since we've had a formal mentors program there has been a lot less activity from new people that is visible to the community. I'm not sure what the right answer is here, but the fact that people are saying they need a place " to be free to ask all the questions you want" indicates a significant problem in my opinion. We already have such a place, #ubuntu-motu and if it's not recognized as such, we need to fix that.
