Since it seems like both Milica and myself will be posting quite frequently, is there a way to best tell what corrections are needed without having to constantly read through all the posts? I'm thinking of changing the team name suggestions post (msg. 16) to corrections needed, but don't know if that would be easier or make everyone feel like they have one more thing they need to check. Let me know what you all think!
