Weekly Check In Dec 18

[tassosss]

Sorry this is going up a little late today. Thank you everyone who filled out last week's poll. It seems that posts that have info and an action that people can take are among the one folks like, so if you are posting about a topic please consider adding a line about an action that can be done in response. Also, check out the comments because sometimes action info ends up there.

For fannish tools to help motivate, is seems that people were split on whether it would help or not. For that those that it would, I think we'll keep it simple to start with with badges. It's self reporting via poll, and I'll make some graphics. If anyone wants to help with that let me know. I'll keep a tally so there can be "Called my senator three weeks in a row" type of achievements too.
