Hello all, I’ve been listed on the ruby mentors wiki [1] for some time now, and have successfully mentored several people, including a person from NASA. Whilst that’s all well and good, and I plan to publish some of the exchanges I have had with my mentees, I was wondering who co-ordinates the ruby mentor project? I have no idea what the “work load” of the other mentors is like, but is there some goal of this project? Whom should I contact about this, if indeed there is someone? If not, I would be happy to take over a “leadership” role, whatever that might entail. Kindly, – Thomas A.

Lately I haven’t been following the list because my life is focused elsewhere, so if anything changed I didn’t know about it. I used to mentor a few people, and it went on great. I guess that’s every mentor’s story. If you want to take it higher, I’d be happy to give you the lead or keep it and take your help - whatever gives the community most benefit. You can find some very old threads about the project in the archives, search for “mentor” or “rubymentor”. Gotta go now. – Aur ---

So it has fulfilled its original remit if nothing else then. That’s good to know. > If you want to take it higher, I’d be happy to give you the lead or > keep it and take your help - whatever gives the community most > benefit. Far be it from me to “take over” something you started like that – it’s really just that the wiki seems rather spartan. I might change that if nothing else, just to give it more structure and a little more information. – Thomas A. ---

I am so far with Ruby that it is too hard for me to get myself moving farther. I will definitely speak with a mentor. Thank you very much, Thomas
