What a week! It’s officially been a week with our newly refreshed Ideas portal and we are excited about the response.  I just want to take a moment to thank all of you who have followed the new process and have only submitted new ideas using the template after searching our Feature Roadmap and existing ideas. This new process will help us ensure the portal remains organized and realistic (no more thousands of ‘Open’ ideas!).

Ok, now let’s take a look at last week’s results. Oh and don’t forget about the handy ICYMI section and the weekly request for help with the topics still awaiting a reply from last week. Both of these can be found at the end of this post. 

 Top 5 Leaderboard:

	Member	Weekly Points
1	@lrnlab	489
2	@francesca.vaccarino	139
3	@avjohnson02	109
4	@prita.bhattacharya	95
5	@dklinger	90

Another top finish for @lrnlab and @francesca.vaccarino must have enjoyed the accolades from securing their first top spot in the previous week that they didn’t want to give up a top spot last week. We also have 2 members landing a top spot for the very first time. Congratulations to @avjohnson02 and @prita.bhattacharya . Also, claiming the last top spot is no stranger to the weekly leaderboard, welcome back @dklinger!
