I usually don't write about what I'm working on because there are many tasks I'm following and some of them could take months or even more ...
But one of them is the rewrite of all the editing pages:
I'm designing six of them at the same time to find the shared parts and make a small framework to handle all of them.

If you have even very small ideas about improving editing of games, articles, groups, companies, events, reviews, etc. just write here.
I can't promise anything, but your input could be valuable.
