We basically have this as a FAQ in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ 
which leads to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HelpWanted. Now its upto to 
the different project people to come up with a introductory kit for both 
the mentors and the mentees. An hour a week or so is not a problem but 
we all need more guidelines preferably in written form. My profile at
