Bug - all "request a mentor links" point to the same webcraft form
Suggestion -> Update the form to be less webcraft specific. Let people insert information on what skills / experiences they'd like to get help with.

That is a feature request. The links are not webcraft specific but school specific. Challenges not part of the schools do not have these links. The schools are responsible for what happens after the user clicks the link (get the info neccesary and match mentors with mentees). The forms webcraft uses are not part of lernanta but hosted on google. Your feature request sounds like the next step that is planned: https://trello.com/card/mentorship/4ec0f020c137ff072a5d8afa/26

Thanks for explaining - makes sense.
Except in the case of the "Contributing to Lernanta" challenge, where the
webcraft specific language on the "request a mentor form" maybe confusing.
Suggestion would be to edit the webcraft mentor google form to be slightly
more generic.

Maybe we should remove the contributing to lernanta challenge from
School of Webcraft.

It's useful that people taking the challenge are able to request a mentor.
The reason for starting the thread was that i got stuck and wanted to
request a mentor, but then it felt like I was in the wrong place. I would
prefer if we didn't lose the ability to request a mentor. Suggest:
Short-term solution -> make webcraft mentoring form more generic.
Longer-term solution -> the planned updates to the mentoring feature.

I added this discussion to john's queue. I think he manages that form and
