Hi Pere, Brendan,
I'm afraid I'm still not in a position to be able to mentor for GCI. If
someone does have time, I would have to say that being a GCI mentor was
something I found quite fun in the past, but it was more time-intensive
than mentoring for GSoC. The challenge for the mentor is keeping up with
the rapid response times needed to stay on top of these "homework"-scale
tasks. You really need to sign in a few times a day to stay current.
