Welcome Mentors!

As a part of an open-source program or just as a free-lancer, B.E.N.J.I. is proud to have you as a mentor. However, there are some guidelines you need to follow:

  • Ensure that your mentees and you too read the code-of-conduct.md and readme.md before contributing.

  • If a mentee asks you a doubt, you are supposed to reply him/her as soon as possible. If you have other commitments too, you may share them for a reply to answer back late.

For example

Mentee: Doubt

Mentor: (After a week), Sorry, I was stuck with my exams. Clear the doubt.

  • Open-source is a democracy. You have all right to review a PR pulled/not pulled by your mentee. Constructive criticism is always appreciated.

  • If a mentee asks you trivial doubts regarding git/python, suggest him/her to look up on Google/Stack OverFlow in an encouraging way. Don't discourage the mentee by saying "this is simple" or "you should know this". You were once a learner too.

  • Try not to be informal during the coding period. Your talks with your mentees go in official documentation, where terms like "fam","bro" are generally frowned upon.

  • Do not review PRs where the only change is a typo or a line-break. Talk to your mentee if he/she does it for the first time.

  • You are free to contribute. Mentors are free to contribute something new to B.E.N.J.I. too. However, please understand that your PRs might take more time for review.

  • If a mentee asks you too complicated doubts, say straight-away that you don't know the topic. You are a mentor but a newbie in many topics too!

  • Please feel free to talk to the maintainer about anything. I generally reply within 24 hours.
