HELPq was originally built for [HackMIT](https://hackmit.org), but has been used at hackathons like [Blueprint](http://blueprint.hackmit.org), [Meteor Summer Hackathon 2015](http://meteorhack.meteor.com/), [WHACK](http://wellesleyhacks.org/), [MakeMIT](http://makemit.org/) and [WildHacks](http://wildhacks.org/) (among others!).

It is a real-time help queue and mentor management application, targeted at hackathons and classrooms, where there is a need for issues to be claimed and satisfied within minutes. It includes a simple interface for requesting tickets, claiming tickets, administrating users/mentors, and examining metrics.

Mentors should not receive any type of push notifications when tickets are requested. Instead, mentors should be pulling from the mentor view and claiming tickets whenever they see them. That way, mentors will not get annoyed by a feed of requests and instead provide high-quality advice because they are themselves actively seeking out people to help.

Mentors can claim tickets, complete tickets, or choose to reopen them. Mentors can only claim a single ticket at any given time. There is no ability to message a student through the app in order to encourage a mentor to find that student and help them in person. A student can, however, choose to include other contact information in case contact is needed to clarify location.
