I'm staying away this time. Last year I added myself specifically to
help array foreign keys, but that was given to someone else, and then I
got added to some SSI items that I had no idea about ("just a backup
mentor!" they told me) and I ended up having to study that whole thing,
couldn't give any useful advice anyway, and used up all the time I could
have used to help array foreign keys, which is now months late with
little prospect of me having time to see it to completion. In the end,
I felt it was a waste of time and disappointment to all involved. Not
even a t-shirt to brag about ... sheesh ...
