I'm a mentor for second year students while they are doing software development projects 4 days/week for a whole school year. They are in small teams (5-7 person) and while there is some communication and knowledge sharing between teams, there could be so much more.
I tried to hold a weekly meeting of sharing knowledge, but I wasn't able to get the discussion going as often and as well as I wanted and ultimately it petered out. I will be a mentor for the next fall semester as well and this write-up got me interested to try again with a new improved version. Hopefully it will get to a self-sustaining mode and will continue even after I leave.
Thanks for an excellent idea and article.
