Hmm.

I've just received private email from a volunteer, who is (self proclaimed)
good enough to cover the basics (which is great and what we need here), but
would also like it if someone would adopt /him/.

First, please send these mails to the list. That is what will generate
interest and hopefully turn this into more than an email-coordinated
project.

Second, when I think about it, I'd also be glad to be adopted (once Calculus
is over and I have time for my Ruby project again). Tutoring is something
that would work even better for those who know their stuff but aren't too
strong on code foo.

Would any of the Ruby masters on this list be interested in mentoring more
advanced users on their projects?

Here, by the way, I can think of perhaps demanding that those projects are
open-source and benefit the community (also I hope not, since mine isn't and
won't be for now).
