There's Rails Mentors - http://www.railsmentors.org/ http://www.railsmentors.org/ I've been a mentor on there for ages and I've "mentored" several people - probably around 7 or 8. The reason I put quotation marks around "mentored" is because of all the people who have applied to be mentored with me, only one has actually applied themselves to the task at hand and consistently requested feedback and guidance. As a result, that was really the only rewarding mentorship interaction I've had via that site, which is a bit disappointing. One of my colleagues signed up too, years ago when that site launched, and I think he's had better luck; he has a postcard on the wall near his desk from someone he successfully mentored in China. The reason I bring this up is because I think anyone who wants to be mentored must realize that the relationship goes both ways: you want a good mentor, but your mentor in turn wants a good student - and anything less than that is disrespectful.
