Hello,
I just re-read nirik's post on community suppport[1]. I happened to read the fedora new ambassador's mentor process page right after it[2]. Would it be a good idea to ask prospective ambassadors to help with community support on #fedora and the user list?
Why? - they'd learn a lot from the irc channel and the list, about fedora, about issues, common bugs, fixes, packages, etc. - they'd know where to direct new users for troubleshooting. - they'd be in a better position to solve problems at the events they hold. - they'd learn how to interact with people, both senior fedora contributors who hang out on the irc, and new users, (and trolls, and etc. etc.) - more community support to users.
Thanks, regards, Ankur

Of course, and for all the reasons you mention. But as a kind suggestion for their own mutual benefit, not a requirement.
