I just posted three topics in my private group and want to add a new topic and I already receive a message that the Your Rate Limit Exceeded.

At the moment I am only able to reply on an existing question or conversation

Hello @renezubc! We just lifted the topic limit. You should now be able to create new topics - can you try again? Thanks again for reporting the issue.

If you or anyone have any questions, please don’t hesitate to raise!

Questions about the final deliverable:
1) According to the timeline (above) the deliverable must be uploaded to GitHub. Are we not able to upload to Google Drive? Should it be in both or one/other? This seemed odd considering the GD has a final deliverable folder. 

 

2) Our checkpoints have been limited to 2 documents (a deliverable and a questions sheet). Are we limited to just one deliverable for the final? If we have multiple deliverables (a doc and a spreadsheet, addendum, for example), why can only the deliverable be reviewed at the check points? 

Thanks for clarifying

Thank you @Roger_RPC  for the questions!

  1. Where to upload the final deliverable: To simplify the process, we’ll have everyone upload their deliverables to the their team’s Google Drive, in the “final submission” folder. The instructions in the timeline above has been updated accordingly.
  2. What to submit for review: The idea behind limiting the submission for review to two documents (one deliverable and one question sheet) is to encourage the teams to start organizing various components of your deliverable (perhaps a diagram/drawing, a spreadsheet for analyzing threats, etc) into one single file as your final deliverable. But we see your point here. We’ll create a separate sub-folder within the 2nd checkpoint and final submission folder for teams to submit supporting documents.

Let me know if this is clear, and thank you again for the questions!
