Designer Mentor program
Designer Mentor/ forum? how to?

I have a more fleshed-out idea for the designer mentor program, and that's why I am putting my votes here. My idea:
We should have a newbie/beginner's forum. In that forum, we should have sticky posts for the basic information and beginner's FAQs (like "what goes into a kit?" or "how do I QC?" etc) so that all our collective knowledge is in an easy-to-find location (because these questions get asked a LOT, especially now that many of the more informative scrapbooking groups/designers have been closing up shop). Also, in that forum, we could have a mentorship program or a designer Q&A. I've also had people request design challenges geared specifically toward beginners (like challenges teaching about assembling kits) and I don't see why that couldn't happen in this forum as well.
I would also be more than willing to moderate/manage this forum: if you decide to put it there, I will put the work into it! -

Maybe even with a focus in specific design areas. For example, I feel good about my ability to create art journal style papers and would be happy to share what I know with someone wanting to learn how to do that. On the other hand, I'm lost when it comes to designing elements from scratch and would love to have a mentor for that topic.
