Our most important need right now is for quality mentors. If you (or someone you know) would make a good mentor, please nominate yourself (or them), both here on the ML and on the wiki (if you can't handle a little redundant paperwork, you're probably not a good candidate :). Include relevant information such as:

There is a lot to creating learning activities that is not technical but procedure. I am particularly interested in making it easier for programmers to create learning activities.

*What kind of projects could/would you mentor?
Activities, and some Sugar UI-related projects (anything relevant to daily life in the classroom.)
*How much time could you devote to mentoring? Can you make the especially solid commitment of being a double-mentor?
Not sure what a "double mentor" is, but I could put in 10 hours/week...
*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
I have been with the Sugar project since the beginning and have been making the occasional Sugar patch; I have written and maintain a half-dozen activities.
*What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
I was a GSoC coordinator and mentor in 2009. I have supervised hundreds of MIT undergraduate research projects and 50+ graduate-level (MS&PhD) thesis projects.
*Anything else you think is relevant.
You learn through doing, so I will roll up my sleeves along side whomever I mentor, because I want to keep learning.

*Timezone
:: EDT (UTC-4)
*What kind of projects could/would you mentor?
:: One project
*How much time could you devote to mentoring?
:: 5-10 hr/week
*What relevant coding experience do you have (very briefly, two sentences at most)?
:: I am the author of [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow rainbow]. I also am intimately familiar with Sugar's architecture, design, and code base.
*What relevant mentoring (or related) experience do you have?
:: I analyze, critique, and improve software professionally, often working with less experienced coders. I also managed the release of a small operating system ([http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/8.2.0 OLPC's 8.2.0 OS release]) in which I helped to fold the work of many contributors, both new and old, into a successful and coherent software development experience.
*Anything else you think is relevant.
:: My entrée into professional software development, which I love, was an internship not unlike the ones you're applying for here.
