I've always pushed for community involvement and an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome to suggestion and contribute.
As part of that, I'm going to create a list, a list of things which need doing around here. My motto has always been that many hands make light work, so the idea of this list is that anyone can volunteer to help and contribute towards a given task.
This will allow us to address more things more quickly (hopefully) and allow those who are interested to more easily pitch in.
So yeah, respond below if you're wanting to help out, or if you have another existing part of the site you think needs clarification/polishing. (not the same as new suggestions, this is intended to be about already existing content which could be neatened up).

> Race Threads Reformat -
Races need reviewing and improving in their format, currently they are a little messy or could stand to have some elements more clearly displayed. Will both fix some possible errors in their description and make them overall easier to understand.
> Example Techniques
Create an example techniques thread, to give people an idea of some of the sort of support, variant and regular techniques they can access. Also should have specials section, to give an idea of what would fall under a special

Sounds complicated, but basically all I need is some grunt work done here, adding all the race data to the sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16rj7xr9aOZcIRB4cQ7-poB2YOOWQeugmTWWr8APnnHg/edit?usp=sharing

> Techs thread review. Clean it up a bit and also consider a way that simple moves can be auto-approved. I'd say this should be made into a discussion thread by someone so we can figure out exactly how we want it to go.
> Our banners for each section need to be saved back out as jpg (I exported as a jpeg and saw the file size reduced from 111KB to 30.3KB, if we want to include the other banners this reduction is necessary to keep load times optimised (essentially allowing us to have 3 banners for every one banner we currently display). I used gimp with a quality setting of 90, which seemed to maintain the picture quality while reducing the size. Once this is done zip up the files and upload the zip/rar archive, that way we can then host them here (so they won't break on us). The only one we'll be missing is tuffle ruins, which I will need to do myself as it's sitting on my local machine.
