 Apertium makes every effort to be an inclusive community, but if you don't have any experience with Apertium tools or code, please don't bother asking to be a mentor after it's already been announced that Apertium will participate.  There's simply no tasks that you could mentor, and not enough time to learn.
-If you are eligible, you are likely on any of several mailing lists to have received an invitation, or have been personally invited by an org admin, or have seen discussion on IRC about it and know who to ask.  If you somehow missed it, please inquire on IRC, our "stuff" mailing list, or reach out to any member of the PMC.

+* Translation tasks are not allowed.  Tasks may benefit from student language knowledge, such as annotating, post-editing, or categorisation, but they must be able to be evaluated as accurate by a mentor!
