Thanks for sharing this with all of us Alina. I agree that it would be a 
good idea to start identifying the active community leaders, in order to 
list who would like to volunteer as a tutor for this project. As you 
suggest Alina, we can start doing this here on this mailing list thread.

I suggest that next week's meeting be dedicated as much as possible to 
discussing this topic with the interested people and to more 
brainstorming around it (so Thursday April 12th: 
https://wiki.mozilla.org/WoMoz/StatusMeetings#Calendar)

We can continue the discussion here also and we'll make sure to post the 
notes from the meeting unto this thread as well.

Cheers all!
