[Phill Whiteside <PhillW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

As he has come through the ranks, I'd be most interested in his input as to
what guidelines there should be. Just bear in mind, that they are
guidelines and not written in stone. Different padawans will pass to be
able to help others in different ways and skills. We cannot have a 'one
size fits all' approach. If a master has a padawan and other masters say
"yeah, that one is ready" putting it into formal system seems self
defeating.

Again, just my ideas on how linuxpadawan should incubate our padawans.

Regards,

Phill.
