Research direction

Start with the kick-off call context recorded in the issue and review the three questions about mentorship, donor participation, and mentor funding. Done means reaching and documenting a decision on whether mentorship should be offered, who would provide it, and what funding range would be feasible.

Description

On our kick-off call, Mark and @jring-o commented that we might want to offer not just financial grants, but also non-monetary support to grantees.

Some questions come up:

  • Would mentorship be valuable to grantees?
  • Can we expect our member-donors to allocate time to mentor grantees?
  • Can we allocate money from the Open Source Endowment Foundation to pay our mentors? Can we think of a ballpark amount that we should be able to afford paying before this is realistic?
