Reaching out to a mentor now starts with your actual goal

The mentor contact form went from a single free-text box to a structured request: what you're trying to accomplish, your experience level, timezone, and how urgent it is, so mentors get real context up front.

Reaching out to a mentor used to mean typing a free-form message into a single box, with nothing captured beyond that one email. It now starts with a specific question: "What are you trying to accomplish?" Then comes your topic, experience level, preferred language and timezone, how urgent it is, and whether you'd rather do this async or over video.

Mentors still get a real email either way, now with all of that context laid out clearly instead of whatever happened to make it into a paragraph. This is also the first real step toward a proper mentor request/booking system. Right now every request is still reviewed the same way as before, with accept/decline and scheduling still ahead on our roadmap.
