Sorry, but from my experience with mentoring KDE projects, this is not 
really true. It mostly depends on the student, of course, but the main 
point is that the student can easily contact the mentor (some short IRC 
sessions have proved to be extremely productive). The mentor doesn't 
have to be available full time or even work on the project full time. He 
rather needs to have a thorough knowledge of how to proceed and provide 
the correct pointers. The rest is usually figured out by the student 
anyway. At least these are my experiences.

Cheers,
Reinhold
