I wonder if it's because only funding for 1 intern has been secured or if there is another reason. Also I am not sure how people can register that they are ok to co-mentor one of the project, but it looks like the person who registered a project can invite co-mentors. So I think it would be nice if people, who would be ok to co-mentor, could tell which projects they would be ok to co-mentor, so that we all know and that they can be invited to co-mentor on the site. It would be great if we could have 2 (co-)mentors per project and it would likely help getting funding for all the interns. Thanks, Christian. ``` ## Jeff King, 2019-09-27 04:43 Subject: Re: Number of Outreachy interns and co-mentors Message-ID: <20190927044304.GA24011@sigill.intra.peff.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20190927044304.GA24011%40sigill.intra.peff.net In-Reply-To: ``` On Thu, Sep 26, 2019 at 03:12:15PM +0200, Christian Couder wrote: > On https://www.outreachy.org/apply/project-selection/#git it looks > like we will only have 1 intern as the title of our section is "Git - > 1 intern".

Right, it's because of the funding promise. > Also I am not sure how people can register that they are ok to > co-mentor one of the project, but it looks like the person who > registered a project can invite co-mentors.

Yeah, I agree it would be nice to have that in the system if there's going to be co-mentoring. I don't know how the interface for it works, though (and I think the mentors see different screens than I do). -Peff ```
