>A way to ask a question and let people answer it. Results could be ranked in term of "top mentor", or other people could vote on it.

Right now, we are using the advice requests to encourage 1-1 interaction. A public discourse, with voting could be interesting but we erred on the side of assuming that many won't be comfortable with having their career questions publicly discussed. We will revisit this assumption.

Re: karma

Mentor karma is coming soon. Interesting possibilities there.

Thanks for the wonderful feedback, emailing you for more 1-1 time.

And to add to this .. We have some karma already in place and its called "Respect". Users can go to profile of others and give them Respect (by clicking on the Respect button) which helps in bubbling up engaged mentors in the community.
