As a mentor, it is not required to "know everything".

By commenting/being involved, a contributor should feel comfortable continuing to the next task at a later date.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Fredric Mitchell</td> <td>thnx @mradcliffe</td> </tr> <tr> <td>mradcliffe</td> <td>Oh, from the role page there's also the Mentoring skill page -<a href="https://www.drupal.org/community/contributor-guide/skill/mentoring">https://www.drupal.org/community/contributor-guide/skill/mentoring</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>mradcliffe</td> <td>I believe this documentation area is open for anyone to help improve :slightly_smiling_face:</td> </tr> </table> <p>Participants:</p> <p>Renato Gonçalves, Chris Darke, AmyJune Hineline (volkswagenchick), Von R.
