RE: Team Australia Mentors : Silver Round Winner and Project Hiatus
It's still a good idea Bugged. I didn't formally agree to mentor anyone, but it did make me more conscious of commenting and upvoting newbie posts that I find interesting since I do look through the official TA feed everyday and at least do a quick scan of most people's posts.
I have a couple of new people this week, so I'll be writing a TA update tomorrow for Wed your time.
Thanks @choogirl If there has been some positive outcomes from it then it's been worthwhile to try.
I think with our current intake rate we can continue doing things informally for a while longer as many like yourself have been doing. I had just become concerned when I saw such huge intakes and thought it might help to put some structure and guidance around onboarding those members. Maybe I just got caught up in the mania and jumped the gun ;)
It's also hard when more people seemed to express an interest in being menteed, including the ones who've been here a while now. Not having a dig at them, but I think people underestimated their knowledge and the value in what they could offer someone who literally just signed up. It actually doesn't take that long to figure things out, especially if you hang around in discord where your learning curve will be a lot quicker. There's always people to bounce questions/ideas off in there.
I agree, it is a good idea and this post had also made me more aware too. I will try my best to go through TA posts more often to support TA members more.
