I really like the idea of the mentorship, but I think that if people are apprehensive about asking questions on a mailing list or in an IRC channel, it takes it to a new level when asking somebody to help you one-on-one for an extended period of time.

And I say that as somebody would love to mentor someone.

I had a conference proposal that I can up with the night before the CfP closed that was project board for libraries to jointly collaborate on developing the sorts projects that get built over and over again at every library, with the idea that collaborative development could both immediately expand the development teams at any given library, but also foster this sort of mentor/learner relationship.

At the end of the day, though, I wasn't sure that anybody would actually get over our usual "we're all unique little snowflakes" mindset and work with other institutions to get stuff done.  In the interest of full disclosure, what /actually/ happened at the end of the day was the DPLA AppFest wound up at the Honest Pint and when I got home I went to bed.

But I'm pretty sure that first part would be a hurdle, though.
