What Would You Like to See Happen to Project14 in 2018?

2017 was a big success for Project14 but there's always room for improvement!

 

We've got a long road ahead and no intention of taking our foot off the pedal!

 

There are no big changes planned, as far as I've heard, so this is just meant to be food for thought.

 

Vote and comment below to let us know what you would like to see for this program in the new year!

 

Thanks for Being You!  Keep Those Projects Coming!

    I like the idea of getting new posters more involved.  Maybe one way is have teams with members of different levels so that inexperienced members could receive more mentoring.

  • I would like to see more emphasis on new posters for the projects.

     

    My perception is that the more experienced people are dominating the projects and creating a view that you need to be a good maker to participate.

     

    I would like to see the projects opened for more beginning makers so that they can show us what they can do so we can encourage them to be regular participants with a good chance of winning the prizes.

     

    I would rather see more prizes awarded than better prizes.  Let's remember our objective was to encourage new participants.

  • I would like to see a clear single chart of the all the schedule and deadline dates for all Project14s for the whole year.

    Title (future Projects would simply be listed by their launch month)

    Poll launch date to decide what the theme will be

    Theme poll close date

    Theme decision date

    Project14 launch date

    Project 14 deadline

    Poll to choose winners launch date and close date

    Winner selection deadline

     

    Ideas

    1. To incentivize earlier/more blogging perhaps some minor swag could be provided to members willing to blog their project plan.
    2. I don't think there would be any opposition to having the odd project sponsored if the kit is a good fit for the theme. Perhaps members could opt in for the kit if they intend to use it and are willing to publish their proposed plan for its use.

    I feel the same way. Also the Design Challenges rightly have the bigger rewards because more content is produced. For shorter projects or for those looking to dip their toes into participating, Project14 is pretty excellent : ).

  • I like the idea that Project14 is smaller projects, it distinguishes it from the Design Challenges and hence opens it up to more people.

     

    So anything that can help people participate is good.
