 Every student is encouraged to clone our <a href="http://code.google.com/p/soc/source/checkout>git repository</a> and work through our GettingStarted guide. We've created a special <a href="https://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/list?q=label:Bienvenue">"Bienvenue" label in our issue tracker</a> for issues that we think are particularly good places for new contributors to Melange to make a small, independent change as a first contribution.
 
 We would like our prospective students to propose new project ideas and discuss with Melange developers via [MailingListsGuidelines our mailing list melange-soc-dev@googlegroups.com]. When introducing yourself to us, please tell us something interesting that you learned from having built Melange, run its test suite, and played around with it a bit.
+
+*Please don't contact mentors directly in a private email, and keep the list on CC at all times.*
+
+Also, it's always nice to see prospective students showing they're able to do their own research, so make sure you've looked at the recent list archives, to check whether your questions have been already answered, before posting, so we can develop more engaging conversations on the projects of your interest!
