++. This is a great idea. 

For those of us not on the #code4lib channel, what kinds of 
issues/challenges would there be in opening this up beyond IRC? (i.e. 
Twitter, Gchat, Skype, "real phone", etc.) 

...and would anyone else be interested?

Hi all,

We're looking to try out a mentorship program through the #code4lib 
channel on IRC Freenode. The idea is that experienced people who are 
willing to volunteer some time would provide 1-on-1 mentoring to those who 
would like to learn during an "Office hours" period, once a week. The idea 
is sort-of modelled on the Drupal project's Core Office Hours (
http://drupal.org/node/1242856).

A sign-up page has been posted on the code4lib wiki (
http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Mentorship), so if this sounds like 
something you'd like to contribute to, don't hesitate to add your name!

Thanks,
