Re: [recommenders-dev] Getting ready for the Google Summer of Code 2014: Your ideas needed

Hi Michael,

> anyone afford mentoring?

full-time is meant in the sense that the mentor will be available during
the entire summer (or can arrange for a qualified replacement during
vacation); the key to mentoring is to do it regularly.

That being said, I would plan for 5-10h/week. But in particular at the
beginning of the GSoC, you may have to do some more explaining and/or
research (real-world example from last year: reading up on Xtext).

Hope that helps.

Andreas

PS: Please consider yourself to be a member of the mysterious "core
team" as well.
