As the representative "non-coder" contributor to SL project Music
Blocks, of course I think that software development gains a lot from
various skill-sets.

In terms of policy, I agree that for mentorship we should not have a
limit.

I really appreciate having been let on board for GSoC my first year
without having to have studied coding before. This being said, I have
learned some basic coding-concepts along the way, which is fun too.
