Village pump/Ideas Bank
From Sustainable Community Action
Village pump pages (and Quick Notes) are a sort of a global to-do list. Use these pages to list suggestions for specific actions to develop the wiki. Add things that you think would be a good idea but which you don't know enough to do / don't want to do right now. See Contribute for a more generic listing of ways in which you can help.
Please put most recent additions at top of each listing. Strike out done items. Remove done items older than a month.
