    ToDo:
    Von TU.it > TUchat > Anleitung (https://www.it.tuwien.ac.at/tuchat/) sollte auch zu TUcoLab verwiesen werden, da die Anleitung für Dummies nicht reicht.
    Insgesamt sollte eigentlich alles zu TUchat auf einer Plattform sein (idealerweise TUcoLab, da hier mehrere Personen was hinzufügen können).

    ToDo: bitte die namensgleichen Seiten "mergen":
    TUchat (unter "Tipps Home Office") und TUchat (unter "Tools").
    Für mich macht es mehr Sinn, die Seite unter Tools als die zentrale Seite zu nehmen und von "Tipps Home Office" nur hierher zu verweisen.

    Liebe Frau Trenovatz!

    Danke für die Anregung - haben wir (schon vor längerer Zeit) so umgesetzt.
