1<%inherit file="_templates/base.mako" /> 2 3<h2 class="caps"><span>Introduction</span></h2> 4 5<p>Welcome to Python Mentors - currently the site for the Python-Core 6mentorship project. The Python Core Mentorship Program is predicated on 7the idea that Python-Core, and Python as a whole would be served by 8further lowering the barrier to entry of contribution to Python core 9(<a href="http://jessenoller.com/2011/03/25/just-proposed-python-core-mentorship-program/" target="_blank">original proposal</a>) 10</p> 11<p>The mission of the Python Core Mentor Program is to provide an open 12and welcoming place to connect students, programmers â and 13<strong>anyone</strong> interested in contributing to the Python Core 14development. This project is based on the idea that the best way to 15welcome new people into any project is a venue which connects them to 16a variety of mentors who can assist in guiding them through the 17contribution process, including discussions on lists such as python-dev, 18and python-ideas, the bug tracker, mercurial questions, code reviews, etc.</p> 19<p>Additionally, mentors assist in something incredibly critical to 20maintain contributor interest: getting patches through the process and actually 21<b>committed</b>. We all know â not everyone who is mentor will have all the 22answers, so mentors also act as conduits to others who will have the 23answer.</p> 24<p>The most important point to make is that <i>everyone is welcome</i> and no 25one, no matter who they are, is turned away. Keep to the code of conduct, and 26help those around you</p> 27 28<h2 class="caps"><span>Resources</span></h2> 29<ul> 30 <li> 31 <a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-mentorship" target="_blank">The mailing list</a> 32 (signup there). 33 </li> 34 <li> 35 <a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/private/core-mentorship/" target="_blank">The list archives</a> 36 <i>(The current archive is only available to the list members.)</i> 37 </li> 38 <li> 39 <a href="http://docs.python.org/devguide/" target="_blank">The Python 40 Developers guide</a> should be your first stop - we will be adding to it 41 based on feedback from the mentorship list 42 </li> 43 <li> 44 The Python <a href="http://bugs.python.org/" target="_blank">bug tracker</a> - 45 you're going to want to bookmark it. 46 </li> 47 <li> 48 The <a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev"target="_blank">Python-dev 49 mailing list</a> 50 </li> 51 <li> 52 The <a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas"target="_blank">Python-ideas 53 mailing list</a> 54 </li> 55 56</ul> 57 58<h2 class="caps"><span>Code of Conduct</span></h2> 59 60<p>The following code of conduct is not meant as a means for punishment, action 61or censorship for the mailing list or project.
