  3. Update the Big Fat Quiz of Eurth.
  4. Resolve the plot holes in Portal:Eurth/Lore.
  5. Update the Portal:Eurth page with a world map. Look at Portal:Gentu for inspiration.
  6. Add HOS/GOF to the Eurth#Countries table.
  7. Clean-up the filenames used in Flags of Eurth by moving the files to a standardised format "Flag of CountryName.extension"
  8. Introduce some regularity to focus creativity and get people more involved. Staff will be on-hand to help members with each particular subject. Re-use the idea from April 2020 of having themed weekdays. https://discord.com/channels/274678876242837505/570737592266391562/696061911397302342 I didn't mean it to be compulsory.

  11. Redesign the Portal:Eurth with the responsive layout of Portal:Gentu and/or NS Index.
