coffee chat
A coffee chat is an opportunity for you to meet informally with your manager to review your progress generally or in a particular area. Either you or your manager can request a coffee chat at any time (and as many times as you wish) and after you get together, either of you (or both of you) can record any outcomes you wish for future reference.
The easiest way to request a coffee chat is to use the widget on your dashboard. Just search for the name of the person you want to meet with, suggest a date, time and location, and select one of more topics for discussion. You can also request a chat when looking at coffeechats your list of past and future coffee chats.
How do I request a coffee chat?
What happens after a coffee chat?
During a coffee chat (or after) either you or the other person can enter some notes to describe what was discussed and what should happen next. Whenever notes are added to a coffee chat, the other person will be notified so that they can check them and say whether or not they agree. Notes can be edited on each coffee chat page.

Avevo pensato a "chiacchierata con caffé", ma mi sembra troppo letterale... Forse, semplicemente, "incontro amichevole"?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
