That's indeed sounds pretty good, as hggdh said the main problem is the
management issue which i think that process described previously is
going to help a lot to solve. Let's go for it and see how that works,
it's probably going to do it better than our current workflow, If
there's no objection I'll create the group, invite the mentors listed on
the wiki page to it and update the documentation during this week.

Have a nice day!,
