In the longer term it makes sense to implement Craigslist-like email proxying and eBay-like (-ish) reviews on behalf of both parties involved in mentorship. ("I didn't learn anything" vs. "never answered an email in less than two weeks" and all the other things that will go wrong as various motivations limit particiation.) Perhaps an opt-in to publish interactions could protect both parties? A larger focus on simplifying the process of preserving mentorship sessions with the intention of developing a collection of recommendations made available publicly could provide monetization options down the road. Recording Skype sessions, integrating a collaborative editing environment with archival, etc. A tremendous amount of value is being transferred and any attempt to capture and multicast that could pay off even just in allowing a later read-only opportunity to learn. (I would encourage anyone signing up to perform this archival themselves with full awareness and approval of both parties involved.) Tie in deep LinkedIn and GitHub integration to tick all the buzzword boxes on future resumes and recommendations (somehow without driving the wisely paranoid/most experienced mentors away) and this tool could really help people improve their standard of living by getting a better job!
