Emacs Buddy repository to discover available mentors
reddit / emacs

I wrote a little blog as a follow up about the Emacs Buddy initiative:
[https://ag91.github.io/blog/2022/02/28/repository-to-find-your-emacs-
buddy/](https://ag91.github.io/blog/2022/02/28/repository-to-find-
your-emacs-buddy/)

I also created a repository to display information about people who
are available as buddies: [https://github.com/ag91/emacs-
buddy](https://github.com/ag91/emacs-buddy)

Crossing fingers we are going to share Emacs magic with more people
this way :D

I think this is a great idea, I'll keep an eye on this. I am starting
to put together a list of ideas for easy projects that can be done by
beginners, I might reach out to you guys to see if there is any
interest in helping people contribute to these ideas eventually.

Wow, this is an amazing idea — thank you for sharing. I'll very likely
come on board at some point as a "buddy."

As an aside, as far as I can tell, you're the contact point for
everyone who wants to be paired with a buddy. At some point there
should be a system so you aren't the bottleneck and won't be burdened
by emails and requests :)

Definitely! I didn't get to that point yet, so I will think about it
in a bit. I just don't want to plainly write the email addresses on
the repo: if you have an idea for that, that would be great :D

Can I suggest adding at least one other maintainer to the GitHub
project? I realise that means I should be volunteering, so if you
haven't got someone else who springs to mind as your first choice, I
guess I could.

Do you mean in case I am unresponsive? I like the idea it becomes a
community effort :)

In case you are unavailable. I know you would not normally be
unresponsive. Community effort does indeed seem like the way to go.
