I've been having so much fun and recounting my experiences since this week 100 celebration and I'm loving every aspect of these topics given. It's suggestion time for better experiences and improvements to achieve in the next 100 weeks and I'm excited to see how it goes.
I actually had a hard time coming up with ideas and suggestions to give as it's no news that the community is giving the best and it is evident how members are always busy with a topic or another activity. If there's one community I'm part of with a lot of activities, it is Hive learners for me.

So giving suggestions is a bit difficult but I'll share the little ones I came up with anyways. Who knows? We are heading for a massive achievement in our next milestone using my small idea hehe.
First off, I'd love to commend the members of this great community for their hardwork, dynamic and efforts towards the activities in the community. It's actually a good motivation for many and I've seen people joining in along the way because of those active ones.
My first time joining the weekend hangout, it was because of a member whom I admired and I had a really good time chatting with like minds towards our next topics to be treated. My suggestion here would be that, they shouldn't have any reason to stop the hangouts but instead, find ways to reward active participants to draw in more members.
I've got no new suggestions for the featured editions as I think how it is being organized is good enough except that it seems the work load is too much on the curating account so it would make a lot easier curation work if something is done about it. I saw a suggestion regarding this already and so there's no need repeating it. The community is great at support, I only hope it continues that way and even much better.
New ideas for topics to be considered
Let's go into Videography more: I know there is the creative Sunday that allows everyone to explore their skills and passion through videos but I think it would also be a good idea to apply it to our weekly featured editions as well.
How about an option to share your entry in video form instead of just write ups. I know this may affect the word count limit the community has given but I think we can work a way around that. "If you're making a video entry, then you can have below 500 words in your write ups."
I've seen a lot of talented Hive learners members sharing good video contents outside the community and I think there can be a place for them in the community aside Sundays as not everyone are available to share theirs in that day. Of course, it's only a suggestion from me.
Another suggestion is what I saw Starstrings do in one of his hangout, making members share their thoughts on the Featured Edition topic, I find it really cool and would help a lot of the participants to share more thoughts. Writing is always different from talking and I think a lot will change if this is applied for members.
Of course, we need to find ways to get members more active in hangout like that. I'm so guilty of not attending and that's because it happens when I'm occupied or really can't participate in it. In any case, a way forward for us to stick to what we've been doing but find ways to get more participants.
We need to have members who will stay whatever happens and always keep the community busy for others to come take a look and want to be part of.
