Gday :)

Don't be scared to ask questions on the list. If you are truly stuck with 
using a particular facility, ask away! ... If you are worried that the 
questions will clutter an otherwise, well, _cluttered list_ then I'm sure 
people will be willing to communicate in a limited fashion off-list. Myself 
included.

Mentoring might be the wrong term as it implies some obligation from the 
person assisting. If you were contributing code then I'm sure someone might 
consider it.
