Anyone familiar with CTP has heard of teams. Let me tell you about a team that stayed together when CTP was in transition and is still going at the restart: We Are Family.
This week has been a good example of the kind of help we give each other. A teammate, , has become the administrator for some older traffic exchanges and is updating them. It is a lot of work, but Kirk uses the team as a sounding board (we can be very loud at times) as he works. He showed us color schemes, badge ideas, etc. and got feedback about readability.
We also talk about our pets, grandchildren, the weather (several of us live in hurricane-prone areas) and much more. If you are on CTP, you need to join a team. Find people who will be honest and supportive--like good family.
P.S. If you are curious about how Kirk's work is going, take a look at Click Roads traffic exchange and Aurora Traffic. We think he is doing a good job there.
