I'm not sure about being able to mentor, yet.\n\nThat said, I believe both of you would do a great job as coordinators for the Git community. So, if you feel like you both could manage without help, that's totally fine. I'll check on the project list once it's available and explore the feasibility of mentoring :-)\n\nThanks,\nSivaraam\n\nSent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
