The English team usually uses the team discussion in the editor. They post on which part they’re working. This way everyone knows who’s in which part.
Personally I translate into a language not many people speak, so I often work alone (or with max 2 others) and then it’s just easier to go to my project contributions to continue with something.
But I think your solution is a good idea if you’re working in a lager team 
@vikicommunity, PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THESE THINGS. To us volunteers, it is EXTREMELY helpful. Maybe to your team it looks “messy,” but it’s actually lowering work efficiently if you choose to “clean up” and remove these features. Having the MOST RECENT EPISODE there helps us navigate 10x faster than us having to click onto the channel and remember which episode we left off. Furthermore, seeing the percentage of EN completed or other languages helps us out a lot because we can see if we need to work on this episode or not. A lot of these features are helpful for volunteers, and since a lot of us contribute a lot to this community, it’s important that you try to accommodate to what is best for the volunteers. Please think again about this decision, I’m pretty sure not a lot of volunteers voted for this change…
I don’t understand. 
Just improve the mailbox. This is more urgent.
Interesting how you structured your docs which is also kinda similiar to ours.
Since 4-5 projects I also wanted to save time and added the link besides the table like this (in the google doc):
For months now, the Project Contributions showing on my profile page have not given me recent episodes. Instead it has the shows I did 20 days to a month ago. I used to be able to rely on it to update by the next day so I could hopefully re-enter the nearest episode.
By going straight into the subtitle editor, I do save time, but I can also miss the fact that a new trailer/teaser/shoutout or episode preview was loaded. On one drama, the episode previews are loading separately from the episode and are found at the bottom of the show page where the trailers are. This would be a serious problem if an editor is unaware that a preview has loaded separately.
For language moderators who follow the English team, the CM gives you a link straight to what she is releasing. An English team must wait until we can get access, and we rely on the speed of the segmenting team. Thus, entering a new episode is never simple for us.
For anyone with several projects, it would be really helpful if the Project Contributions still remembered for us which episodes we did last. I hope that Viki’s change will enhance rather than hinder our work. I know that no one responds well to change, and the general attitude is, “If it already works, don’t fix it.”
“The only constant in life is change,” said Heraclitus. “Nothing in life is permanent, nor can it be, because the very nature of existence is change.” I just hope the changes are to our benefit. 
PS – I don’t know why part of this post is bold.
The computers are taking over 
More likely than that, the project may have come up on your Project Contributions list because its licence changed for one or several regions around the world.
Since Europe gets a lot of the licence changes, we immediately see the effect of a project changing place on that web page. It’s actually a good indicator of when the project you completed or been working on has (usually) lost its licence. Rarely it is the other way around, where a project regains the licence.
This is not an improvement. It’s a handicap! 
Why do you make it more and more complicated for contributors? Are you going to get rid of us?
Viki just change the changes back to how they where and instead add some folders, search option and bulk delete for the inbox. Now that would be helpful.
@vikicommunity
I do not like this update 
, please Viki to bring things back as they were, it is better for all of us 
It gets even worse. Now everyone who doesn’t accept Social Media Cookies is robbed of Team Discussion in the subtitle editors. Without a warning. Team Discussion simply seems to have stopped existing. It used to work fine with functional cookies only, but now we are being blackmailed into selling our soul. 
And most people won’t even notice it, cause it’s done sneakily.
So now we can’t access our on-going projects in our Contribution List anymore and we can’t access TD anymore, unless we accept totally unnecessary invasions in our lives. What’s next?
Viki should cherish people who are spending such a huge amount of their time, energy and skills to serve them without asking a daim for it, but instead they are just blocking our way.
Needless to say I’m furious! 
I have the Team Discussion tab, but not the ability to comment. Hopefully it’s just something temporary!
A couple of times I had to approve Disqus cookies in order to see the comments under shows. The same approval would apply to all Disqus components on the site, including the Team Discussion.
The first time I used Team Discussion I had to accept Disqus cookies too, but I accepted only the functional ones and still had access to TD.
Since now (for me) there is not even a TD tab I would say that the problem lies with Viki, rather than with Disqus.

Denying us access to Team Discussion if we don’t accept Social Media Cookies is obviously a violation of this law. Our consent is not “freely given” this way.
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE IDEA!!!
Fire the fool who thought this one up. For someone like me who has up to 4 pages of projects I do… I depend on the Projects page to keep me informed and know what dramas I’m working on. Now, if it goes, I won’t even lie… I will forget what I’m working on and it’s my responsibility to keep the English team on their toes. If I disappear, so will the editing team…
Out of sight, out of mind!
This was the PERFECT TOOL that allowed me to know what episode I had done or worked on…
This is a disaster in the making! Did anyone in Viki ask us if we used this at all? I don’t recall getting a questionnaire about this.
I just remembered I’ve got an email asking for our feedback yesterday. It’s the same as always (how satisfied you are, what we did well, what can we do better).
Yay! YAY! We got it back 
Thank you Viki
Hi everyone, ICYMI, we have brought back the video blurb based on our community’s feedback! 
We also shared why we removed it and some things you should note in a mini update here. Check it out!
