My 20 agorot: The stuff that that team was doing is great, and the ideas that the tasks reflect are great, too. Most of them shouldn't be discarded, but carefully redistributed between the current relevant teams, such as Collaboration, VE, Language, Discovery etc., even if not for immediate action. T92114 alone is something that I'm very excited about and there's a lot of other great stuff there.

Discussion and decision welcome.

If there is no progress and nobody wants to make a call, I might just mass-close all tasks as declined.

I have checked a few of these tasks randomly and they seem to be single sentences (the title) without any details in the description, neither in the related Trello card. They don't seem to be very valuable / valid on their own nowadays.

@Amire80: Would you fancy giving that a try? :)

No comments from anybody who was part of the Growth team, hence I'm going to mass-decline those tasks in the next days.

Closed 70 tasks as declined.
Note that obviously anybody can reopen a task they still plan to work on and associate an active project to that task.

Didn't see this earlier. I'm going through the ones in my email now and opening and retagging the ones that are about a specific other project. But indeed, if someone wants to work on them, they can also reopen them.
