To be honest Rahul, mentoring users, especially very new ones, is a
*HUGE* time (and patience) drain.  If you can't devote a lot of both to
it, you're best off devoting your considerable (!) energies
elsewhere. :-)  Besides, you're already providing FedoraNews, monitoring
all the mailing lists, IRC, etc.  I would think the best way for you to
help, with the visibility you have, is to encourage Fedora community
members who are not super-involved but want to help new people like
Judy/Sue.
