> I won't say that mentees will notice a difference. They are only looking for an answer.
It seems to me that mentees still look at the mentor's talk page, and such topics kill the appearance of live communication. 1. One gets the impression that this is how the topics should be named. 2. It seems that the mentor is only answering questions from newcomers. These are just my guesses.
> We tried to ask mentees to add a title, and it was not really a success: imagine a page with only headers all the same: "Question". :D
Oh, was there such an experiment? I didn't know about this, and thought to offer this idea in this capacity :) So let's forget about this idea :)
> In you opinion, what would be the alternative?
I thought about it, and could not come up with anything good. Maybe take time out of the header?
> Mentors want ot move questions to other pages? I don't remember you mentioning it - but I may be wrong!
Yes, I didn’t tell you about it because I don’t like this idea and I decided to deal with it later. I mentioned this to Olga in our interview.
In general, a month or two ago, one mentor left the project, because she really did not like that questions from newcomers cluttered the page. She asked if they could be moved to another place, I said not yet.
Two reasons why I don't like this idea:
1. Communicating on the talk pages, the mentees immediately gets used to our discussion system: that all questions should be on the talk page
2. It will be very difficult for other mentors to follow other people's pages if they are all in different places.
