First of all I have to thank you for all your suggestions and ideas. Our professor has limited our enthusiasm. He said, if we wanted to develop something for the XO there should be a group of a maximum of 5 ppl. Now these 5 people decided to write a small email activity.
I'm sorry if I disappointed you now, I would have liked to help you with your ideas, because I see there is so much work to do at so many nice ideas.
