I remember actively seeking out mentors and recruiters on irc for a
while and not getting very far.  I think that exposing recruitment to a
wider audience than just the recruiters is a good idea, why limit
ourselves to their bandwidth?  This isn't a remark on the performance of
the recruiters, just a note that more people means more bandwidth.

I like the idea of having a wiki page of people willing to be mentors
for each area (or in general).
