> i believe you misunderstood me, of course not all of us know how to do "pro
stuff", what i am trying to say is that we should put a target, something to
do so we can say "yes, we are the youth team and we did .... and we do ....
and there is a point for this team!". as long as we are just a team without
anything in our hands, or even no plans for such, i think this team will go
down and down.

so what we should do [IMHO] is to meet and find ideas for what to do. i
guess that if we all give hands in that, soon we will have a great live
project :)

Another thing is translation, Roman a.k.a BasicXP, stated that his
