it isn't about bashing anything it is about making sure everything is
going well and sharing ideas and best practices. Approved teams are
doing great stuff and can have resources chucked at them from time to
time and can be expected to be organised enough to cope with it. Non
approved teams can be provided with help in organising themselves.

great! Their wonderful work should be shown off to the council and, more
importantly, the other locos so we can see their awesomeness, and copy
what they are doing.
