All of our mentors have experience with the Sugar code base and most of them have been with the project since the beginning - more than 2 years ago. Also, they have been active in our software development support community and a regular presence on our support IRC channel.

All of our mentors have experience with the Sugar code base and around half of them have been with the project since the beginning - more than 2 years ago. Most have successful mentoring experience (including combined 6 years' experience as successful GSoC mentors) and/or are teachers. All have been active in our software development support community and a regular presence on our support IRC channel.
We also plan to pair mentors to ensure that there is an experienced "second" associated with each project. Finally, our IRC channel is active 24/7, and we will give all students a list of IRC handles whom they can consult specifically. There is a safety net for any software developer who needs it.
