I like this idea! After all it seems to have worked for this team somehow even after Julie’s participation in the TAC got derailed by real life.
I wonder whether the importance of the first post has been overestimated: in this thread it wasn’t updated after February and I doubt there was much editing of posts going on after that date in other parts of the thread as well. Anyway, we still need to find someone willing to open the new thread. In the new scenario, the role of the “thread-opener” would be less daunting, I suppose. Ideally this person should be tech-savvy enough to be able to, for instance, upload pictures (personally I wouldn’t know where to start). I’ve seen that the new threads of other teams are aiming for prettiness, not just efficiency (not that a plain thread would particularly bother me). What do the others think? We're still missing the opinions of many of you. Please, come forward with your ideas and suggestions or to volunteer! --- Meanwhile here’s an updated list of people who’ve expressed an interest in joining the new TAC team (again apologies if I missed someone!).

I'm quite familiar with both HTML coding/image editing so I'd be glad to help with all the tech-related stuff :)
Also, I like daegga's idea of having a group of experienced TAC users. If a team's leader has to leave their position for whatever reason there will be someone else capable of replacing them. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I would like to join the team for the next year, if my busy schedule allows me and if you still have an open spot for me :) (the worst leader ever, argh!).
Furthermore, I find the idea of a "board of veterans" really good! The life is full of surprises and not always all that compatible with language learning / on-line activities, as I have had to learn this year the hard way. It is good to have some possible replacement, and it is generally great to have more people engaged and coming up with team activities. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

@Julie
You're most certainly welcome back in the old/new Scandinavian team! ;-) --- One by one, little by little, it looks like we’re slowly approaching the default active-member limit of 15. Are we ok with that limit? IIRC the limit can be changed if the team agrees. Personally I’m ok with the 15-member limit since the majority of the team is made up of senior members and so the drop-out rate shouldn’t be too dramatic this year. But should we discuss the matter before we actually reach it? Please, voice your opinions.

Observers aren't supposed to count towards the limit, although it's up to the team to decide.

You’re right, Serpent, and that’s why I said we’re getting there (but we’re not there yet).
If everybody on the list confirms their status, we’ve got 13* active members already signed-up and 3 wanderlusters/observers. I think we’d better get the conversation going on the upper number we agree to accept before a 16th person asks to be part of the new team, so we don’t have to either reject them only because of the default limit or put them in stand-by until we decide whether to allow them in or not. I honestly think that would be unpleasant and awkward to do. *Until we hear from jeff_lindqvist I think we should count him as one of the active ones, though maybe he really intends to be simply a wandeluster/observer. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Since you are a multilingual group, if there are too many you may of course go for one Swedish team and a
Norwegian/Danish team too, if you like. Though our experience at team MIR is that it is better to go with a larger group, even if it is 23-24, because people disappear along the way. It is sensible to stop around 15 in the first place, because if the final count is 30, two teams of 15 have a better survival chance than one of 10 and one of 20, but it is good to be flexible in the end. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I don't know if I have lots of energy and ideas, but I am willing to consider taking up the role - in my case as Godfather - if you don't get any other enthusiastic candidates. In case you don't refuse the offer, I'll try to keep track as best as I can and contribute when needed. However, I do hope that Cristina will still be around to complement my input with her excellent advice. 1 person has voted this message useful |
