Mifos Initiative has a long history of mentorship, and we have assembled community members as capable mentors who are willing to help review your completed tasks. Mentors for the 2017 Google Code-In for the Mifos Initiative have been split across the following teams: Code - Platform, Code - Web, Code - Mobile, QA, Documentation, UI & Design, and Outreach/Research.
