For the The RBE10K Project to make progress addressing its project needs, it requires a number of teams working on them. Currently there are a number of [[../List|teams already created]] and working towards fulfilling those project needs, however many more teams are required. The following is a non-comprehensive list of teams that we hope our contributors will create and begin working in towards satisfying some of the project's needs.

The purpose of teams working is described in the [[../|RBE10K Project Teams]] page. Each team will initially work on their own page (and optionally its subpages), and can be in a language other than English. Eventually, refined content must be incorporated into the appropriate sections of the Main Wiki (i.e. pages that do not require a prefix like User: or Team:), in English, and with an academic writing style. This system is meant to offer sufficient flexibility for teams to be productive and work in unrestricted ways.

Internal project teams

• Language translation teams (one per language), to assist with the translations to and from English. Anyone having migrated to an English speaking country from a non-English speaking country should have the necessary skills.

• Academic writing team, to assist other teams in porting their material into the Main Wiki with an acceptable academic writing style. Anyone with university studies should have the necessary skills

• Bettermeans implementation team, to implement the fantastic www.bettermeans.org solution and integrate it with the project's requirements

Physiological needs

This are the most urgent teams required. Several teams can be created to address any one of the following issues.
