Poll: Would you be interested in participating in a "mentoring" experience?

[milo]

I voted no, simply because it seems like a lot of time and work to impose on two people to do something which is more fun as a group activity anyway. Also, I can't speak for everyone, but I'm not a qualified teacher and have no (or at least very little) experience of teaching anyone anything. This is, after all, an amateur poetry site, where hobbyists meet to share, discuss and critique their creations, or at least that's how I see it, so a mentoring system sounds very rigid and institutional, like this is a school. This is all JMHO, of course.
That said, if someone is interested in being mentored and another person wants to mentor them, I see no problem at all with that.

yes, the mentoring idea seems the least popular. I am not even sure it would be possible to recreate here, as they do have a certain rigid discipline over there. One thing I do know is that sites succeed when they get an active involved member base that participates in more than just posting poems and comments. Sites fail when they lock members into that. People thrive on interaction. I want this site to succeed so I am willing to explore avenues that force some of our peripheral members to take some ownership of the site.
