Forum:AAU Reforms Planning

Outline
As many of you may know, Project Adopt a User was shut down a while ago due to low priority and not enough of a proper setup. Insane and Grayravenpaw have expressed interest in bringing it back, so Insane and I put together a rough outline for new guidelines. Any comments would be much appreciated.
 * Mentor Requirements
 * Must have been a member of the site for 3 months.
 * Must have at least 25% of total edits in two of the following namespaces: Main, Talk, Warriors Wiki or Warriors Wiki talk.
 * Must know how the wiki functions in general (enough to answer pretty much any questions an apprentice would have) and be competent in wiki-code.
 * Must be mature, possess common sense, and be patient enough to handle an apprentice.
 * Must be approved by a sysop (to ensure their maturity and that their edits have been contributive).


 * Requests Section
 * If Apprentices see a certain mentor they'd like to have, they can request them, but the mentor must accept
 * This section would only be used for cases such as if a user is interested in one project, they may request a mentor who is a leader or active contributor to that project to become skilled in that aspect.


 * General Guidelines
 * Mentors may only have two apprentices at one time to prevent overworking the mentor.
 * It's up to mentor and apprentice to agree upon when the apprentice is no longer in need of mentoring.
 * Sysop decisions for mentors and apprentices are final, however, if a user has a personal issue or legitimate problem, they should contact one of us privately to try and resolve it.
 * Note that being a mentor does not give any special privileges or give one a higher 'rank' than anyone, nor does apprentice does not mean one is a lower rank.

Please post any comments, concerns and feedback below. If I’ve missed anything you mentioned, Insane, clamp down. -- Bramble 03:11, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
