Warning: don't post in this topic.

Hi there :)

As we're enjoying the challenge, we'll do our own in 2016. We have to decide the weeks, so we'll use suggestions and polls.

I don't want to spam all the members for each step, so if you're interested in doing suggestions, voting or following what's happening, you just have to subscribe to this topic (check "email me" at the bottom).

We'll update when:
- a new week is opened for suggestions
- a new poll is online

At the end of each poll, I'll add the winner weeks in this first post.
