Reason: Missing some TAPP
You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Thursday, All-Day, Personal Projects (originally Thursday Afternoon Personal Projects)[1] is Jagex's version of the "20% time" policy initially popularised by Google, where employees are free to spend some of their time on projects not related to their primary job description. It was initially implemented at Jagex in 2014. The policy allows employees to spend every other Thursday on personal projects related to the game, effectively 10% of their time.

TAPP is currently cancelled until at least 2019.[2]

As long as it is vaguely relevant to people's jobs, or the company, they get time - every fortnight - to do their own personal project. Sometimes it is self-training, sometimes it is content or features for the current games that they have a burning desire to do. Or it's pitching new ideas or prototypes. And it is not just games, we have web-development and billing-development departments. We have had cool features like extensions to our forums that have been added, just because it was a personal idea from someone, and they chipped away at it over a few Thursdays.
