What about my page commitment?
Collaborative projects can make it hard to count how many pages are “yours”, but EOL wants you to reach out to the rest of the world, so we’ll find a way to give you credit for your efforts. Eg.: if you personally mentor a student contributing to your LifeDesk, all of their content counts toward your commitment.
Have a great community-building idea but not sure whether the resulting content will count? Ask us!
