As a mentor for eclipse foundation you will be involved in the following activities:

• Review and Rank students proposals for all proposals submitted to eclipse foundation
• Contacting students you want to mentor to obtain more information or giving them assignments
• If proposal of your student is selected, mentoring the student and submitting evaluation reports

Proposals review

Stage 1: Before proposals freeze deadline

• Mentor can review proposals and ask student questions on the proposals or via e-mail
• Mentor can ask student to change proposal if it incomplete
• No scoring of the proposals at that time
• Mentor can mark proposals as "willing to mentor"

Stage 2: Between proposals freeze and google initial allocations

• Mentor can review proposals and ask student questions or give them assignments
• Mentor should mark proposals as "willing to mentor" for these that he is willing to mentor
• If there is no mentors for the project that student selected admin should probably ping the project to get mentor registered
• Mentor should 'score' bad proposals (aka spam) with negative score
• At the end of the stage admin should mark all negative proposal as ineligible
• At the end of the stage admin should assign mentors to proposals that have suggested mentor
• No 'positive' scoring of the proposals at that time yet

Stage 3: Between initial allocation and ranking freeze

• No more asking students questions and changing proposal, proposal should text should be frozen
• Mentors review proposals with assigned mentor and set score (how?)

Stage 4: Ranking freeze to final selection

• Only admin can adjust proposal ranking
• Depends on de-duplication results or project having more slots that initially allocation student not from top X can get a spot
