Kudos go to ...


Kudos to the whole team for keeping things caught up. We could not do this without you. (Lee &amp; Sandra).

Priority items for this meeting:



 * 1) Choose a county/parish to focus on if you have reviewed the larger area. Delve a little deeper on localities to identify items for Help Wanted pages.  Researchers rely heavily on county/parish resources.  We can identify needs on these pages.  See: locality.

Example: Georgia &gt; Effingham

Many topics are blank. This can be added to the Help Wanted page for Georgia.

2.  Review items across spreadsheet (ex. breadcrumbs).

3.   Discussion:  How do we handle links that we determine are routing to a site and the actual resource could be directly linked?
