What do you think about this idea? We’re just starting to put this test together and would love your feedback and thoughts - we want to give it as much likelihood to succeed as we can.

I think it's a great idea that stands a chance to help people get better technically while keeping in mind the goal of SO to exist as a collection of High Quality questions and answers, all this while also keeping tempers lower. WIN WIN! :)

What concerns do you have with how we’re deciding to implement this initially? We’re trying to go as light on the technical requirements as possible, but we want to make sure we haven’t missed anything glaring.

Selection of mentors is crucial. The most technically advanced may not make for the best teachers. Unfortunately, there cannot be a one-size-fits-all to this, and only time and experience will tell. How much risk is Stack Overflow willing to take, considering that it is an experimental project?

And most importantly: are you interested in volunteering to be a mentor? A project like this would never work without knowledgeable and experienced Stack users to actually do some mentoring. As this is a test, we’d probably also want to talk to you about your experience afterwards.

Heck, yes! I've taught small children professionally before, and I'm a big fan of the ELI5 subreddit. Check it out below => ExplainLikeIm5
