and if I may add; and you will have to explain what would happen if the LoCo teams failed to use the new proposed system. I still believe that communication between LoCo teams or at least team leaders/contacts is crucial and we should encourage it and find a way to keep it active and healthy. --

I'd like to suggest to create a tool for the administrators/heads, one that keeps track of the activity of each member on launchpad.net as well as other ubuntu-related websites, such as wiki pages and outputs it in a nice daily activity log, with pie charts etc :) (There isn't one, is there?) --

Here is my take on this, and I may be completely off base, but just hear me out. For those who don't know me, I'm the Leader for the GA LoCo. Over the last 12-18 months we have been trying to brainstorm, and implement ideas to engage young people. The reason for this is, if you can get Ubuntu

You've managed to get me annoyed, not good Mr East. Are you seriously suggesting that you know better for our LoCo team here than we do? I find it offensive that anyone could have the authority to dictate what each individual LoCo group should use or should work on. As I said in a previous

Thanks for your quick response, you've put my mind at ease for a few things. I think that's a shame. If your idea is about a tool for sharing resources between teams, it's important that such tools get thought through by the community first, so that when we move, we do so as a community and

That is a pretty interesting idea. Depending on how complex such a tool would be, have you considered whether it could be achieved by way of a drupal module that could be added to the Fridge? There is already an events module, but it could possibly be improved or supplemented to make it more

Maybe we do not need to develop a new tool or anything at least before using the current tools that we have starting from this mailing list ending with the wikis and discussion forum, what we need is to encourage sharing experience and ideas rather than a new tool unless you convince me with a

You can not plan with communication, communication is in it's self a tool. now what your saying is that the wiki, forums and mailing lists are good enough for communication; yet this isn't good enough for planning and organisation, the wiki here is particularly bad because it's so unstructured

I have started a good chunk of the base for the project. The really big remaining part is getting the starts to each diffrent sub set of the site that everyone will use as well as replacing the Django admin with a more custom built admin. To allow better and faster administration of the website.
