One thing i've noticed is that the ebuild quiz is far more difficult than the
eom quiz. We seem to have the biggest hurdle first.
What I would like to see is either the quizzes be merged or....
An "easier" first quiz that covers the basics which after being answered the
user can become a gentoo developer ( ie @gentoo.org email, ssh access to
d.g.o, etc) but no access to push directly to the tree. Instead all commits
must be pushed thru their mentor, who is responsible for qa'ing and giving
advice. Currently I don't think mentors really have much of a role. There is
certainly no requirement for a mentor to qa their charges commits, but if
they are the ones pushing to the tree the mentor has all the responsibility.
This might just make mentors more responsible for the quality of recruits.
Some of this could be done regardless of whether there are separate quizzes or
not obviously. But I think it creates a nice workflow.
