Page History

In May 2016 we surveyed the OFBiz Committers. The results of the survey can be found here. One of the things that came up in the survey was related to mentoring. I asked the question whether it would be a good idea if newer Committers were mentored by a more experienced one and  63% of the Committers surveyed agreed it would be.

A discussion thread was raised on the development mailing list here. Committers with a lot of experience and knowledge could be good mentors to others. Mentoring could be something as simple as being available to answer questions or to give advice about how to approach something, but the main thing is that there is someone to ask informally. The discussion feedback was very positive and this page has been created to help manage the mentoring process.

We are currently doing some work to re-factor the OFBiz framework and I would initially suggest that this could be the focus for mentors.
