What does my iGEM team need to do to become a part of this collaboration?

How do I comment on or suggest modifications to an outreach idea that another iGEM team has posted?

 * In the "Experience" section, post your bulleted comment (mentioning the step in the protocol, if necessary) and then refer to your iGEM team. (Ex:  *We found that using colored toothpicks instead of pipe cleaners as legs in step #4 of Build-A-Bug made our insects more stable.  Brown-Stanford iGEM 2011)
