[Adium-devl] SoC Mentors

Strong agree.  There is absolutely no excuse not to be checking in  
code at a minimum of once per week.  Incomplete? Broke something since  
last week?  That's still fine; version control exists for a reason.   
We should make sure students understand subversion and how to create  
branches (which of course are just copies... we're not using anything  
more dynamic and flexible... yet...) and make it clear that while they  
in no way should feel obligated to branch their SoC branch, they are  
very much welcome to use version control in whatever way is best for  
their workstyle, which can include private branches if they wish.

That does sound like a good idea... though it might be a logistical  
nightmare if we did so with all potential candidates.  Perhaps  
interviewing our top 10 candidates based on their applications would  
be effective?
