Tips & Tricks
What did you do in *your* LoCo, and how did it work out?
[PlLocoGoodies] -- we're starting with it, so I can not say how it worked out yet.
[BasenPelenPomyslow] -- This is an idea to let people put their ideas into native version of [IdeaPool]. After we get some ideas, we translate it into English and put it back to the [IdeaPool]. Too bad it didn't work out quite good.
This is what we do in the [:ItalianCommunityStructure:Italian Community] to organise ourselves
