Are you sure you want it so deep in the hierarchy? It doesn't show on the front-page. I have no problem at all in adding it to the front-page!

hmm, the 2 words are good enough to named it actually(my own suggestion).

But maybe we can change it to something if you have a better name same as the those words :)

School Section -> big lol.

We should probably also have a roster of the mentors and their skills. For example:

Specialty: PHP
Skills:
PHP/MySql: 4 years, 3 years professional
HTML: 4 years, none professional
C++: 4 years, none professional
VB.net/SQL: 1 year, almost one year professional
C#: 6 months, none professional

Other:
I've been in the programming industry for a good number of years now, doing both professional and freelance work. I have experience with both *nix and Microsoft products. I currently work with Microsoft technologies.

i just came up with a new thing should we accept mentoring in a different language?
so it's not restricted to English.

what you guys think ?

PS: please post in this thread feedback on the
Mentor's Switchboard so we can make it better.

This board is in English, I think it should be restricted to English.

ok just a thought

But the actual tutoring could be done via MSN or IM or other.
For example, I'm from sweden, I wouldn't have any problem with having a swedish mentor.. although I'm more comfortable with english than swedish, but still..

You could have mentors give what languages they are fluent in, I don't see the need to make it official.

all true ;) thanks for your thoughts :D

yes, it will depend on both parties on what language they will be dealing at their own convenience.
