The group working on making W3C more welcoming met today. We touched on the topic of mentoring and decided to bring it back to the whole group. We agreed that mentoring would benefit the W3C greatly, but it goes well beyond welcoming. Barbara spoke about long-term and short-term mentoring as well as situational mentoring. We think that the welcome materials that we are working on will help a mentor, but this is a separate topic.

I know Codebar has been talking about developing a mentorship program. It could be useful to find out what they are doing.

@torgo ++ for knowing broad information always.

Looks like a mentor has a certain skill(s) for coaching at Codebar. Would we like to start by listing that skill set here? Do we want to recruit volunteers from members or teams?
