I'll admit up front that I failed to read this assignment's instructions fully, and did not know I needed to interview secondary mentors as well. I believe that a combination of two of my primary choices would make a good team of primary/secondary, but I will still fill out the rest of the blog and update it when I have information for secondaries.
A secondary mentor's role is to supplement the primary mentor. Potentially, they would have a separate expertise from the primary, assuming the capstone has multiple aspects (programming and design, for example). Ideally, the secondary mentor would be less vital to the project (however slightly), as presumably he or she would be the primary mentor for other students.
Bad candidates for secondary mentors would be people with no interest in new interfaces or would be expecting to be able to create an application with standard design principles.
Good secondary mentor options other than one of the primaries would be Wade Mitchell or Beth Lykins. I'll be sending them email ASAP and updating this blog post with information about them.
