I dont know myself, I would ask that Torq and Delia or any other staff members to wiegh in on the formation of a mentorship group that is going to affect the site in such a wide way if the idea is even feasible.
And there's the crux of the problem ... lol

All the information's out there, but a lot of people won't find it, or even look for it, but if you contact every new member it'll seem cloying and intrusive to some. There really is no perfect solution.

Personally, I think this site strikes a good balance. There's information available for those who do their own research, the responses to introductions include many offers to answer questions and the same offers are made when new people show up in chat. Things seem to work a lot better here than most places.
