I pretty much agree with what @bengy has said here :) The only thing I can add is that if we are going to do groups then people can probably nominate what type of skills/interests that they have (based on previous IFC quests) and groups can be formed by balancing the number of people and skills. What I am not sure of is whether everyone who participates will need to be in groups/teams, or will people still be able to just participate as individuals... perhaps we can just ease into teams by having quests that are for teams only to try and see how it works?
