* Skills Needed: [[BR]]fjp: These ranges are still extremely wide. It might be an idea to either add more categories, or use age ranges instead, or have an additional category "Age Range:" * Skills::Baby [[BR]]fjp: I would suggest to use Skills:Toddler instead, or as an additional category between Baby and PreTeen (can't really see a real baby using a computer); an alternative category to consider would be Infant (which covers both Baby and Toddler I think) * Skills::PreTeen |
