I could probably help, but then again, you're right about the "you wouldn't want to be mentored by someone younger to you".<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 March 2011 09:17, Jesus Mager <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fongog@gmail.com">fongog@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
It is hard the hear that no one have time this year! Sadly I am in my<br>
last year at the university, and I am very busy and I also don't want<br>
to leave a student with out attention. I got this experience the first<br>
time I was mentor. On the Admin question, it is hard for me because my<br>
nad English.<br>
But let me see, I can try to do an effort. My idea is continue the<br>
work on TuxHistory, but one of the biggest problems I have now is the<br>
lack of an integrated GUI TuxHistory. So I was thinking about the<br>
possibility of including a own (basic) GUI in TuxCommons. What do you<br>
think abut it?<br>
