So....how are things changing since Tariq left?

Are there new personnel in the works?

Are there changes to Project14 coming?

Are there changes to other programs?

Is there a schedule?

I believe that the current portal organization, placing project14 project blogs in a separate tab, has diminished the visibility of these projects. Users must now actively seek out project14 content rather than it being presented to them. This is similar to the issue with road tests, where I often miss content due to the inconvenience of navigating multiple tabs.

Same. We have a lot of cleanup to do after 10 years of Community, and marketing trying to make the Community anything and everything. There was a group dedicated to some speed racing challenge from over 5 years ago. We didn't need that anymore.

I never made it to the e14 Presents stage. I couldn't figure out the business proposition side of it and I didn't want to give up being just a regular member.

We have had some recent changes. Of course, we miss Tariq. I was thrilled when he took over the Webinar program years ago when I was swamped with work. And he vastly improved it. I also think he did wonders with Project14, all on a minimal budget. But Life is Change.

Question: I expect that once we get our sea legs, Project14 will be part of our daily mix of content. Is there anything you would like to change about it?

Thanks for the update.

I prefer a nice simple website.

When things become hard to find, I tend to just skip them.

As always, I appreciate the effort the team is making and I know it will be a while before you get everything back under control.

I would call that wishful thinking rather than a schedule, it regularly slipped from being monthly, and over time slipped from being monthly.

A lot of information about Project14 needs to be updated, thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for update, but actually there is "schedule" mentioned in header of Project14 main page:

And at About Project14 link in right, there is bullet:

Every month there is a new project theme poll where you get a chance to also submit ideas and images for future project competitions.

But note that even when Tariq was in team, it very rarely went so quickly.
