First of all I want to say thanks to Stefan for taking the time to help me get started, and for his patience with my ignorance. Also, I wanted to make a point that the "mentorship" here on emacs-devel is great. I have asked any question to the list I may have had and gotten prompt, helpful guidance from many. I also think that any change to make "mentorship" some process with more policies to remember would not only be counter intuitive but it would take away from the camaraderie we have here and make it seem too corporate I think. Some things you just need to leave natural and not try to automate, and streamline, even though it's against our nature.
