FamilySearch Wiki:Technical Meeting

Come and get help, learn, and forge solutions with other community contributors! We hold community meetings to discuss content, technical issues, workarounds, community, site design, and strategy. Everyone who attends learns something new that makes it easier and more fun to contribute to the wiki.

Our community meetings frequently discuss style guidelines. Please refer to the Manual of Style page and its discussion page for ongoing community discussions to reach agreement on guidelines.

When
The wiki community meetings are on  Tuesdays  from 2:00-3:00 PM (mountain time)

Attend the community meeting from home!

First-time users should run the MeetingPlace Test to verify they can participate in a web meeting. Since November we have had problems calling into Adobe Acrobat for the audio portion of the meeting. I hope that by using MeetingPace, the audio portion of the meeting will be easier to join, and the recording of the meeting will also be improved.

Agenda information
Community members are welcome to suggest topics for the agenda by clicking on the agenda below, then click the "Discussion" tab. As the meeting draws near, items in the Discussion tab will be reviewed for agenda priority.

Minutes information
In the meeting held on 08 Sep 2009, it was decided that the individual that adds an agenda item should take the meeting notes since they have vested interest in the subject. If that individual is not able to attend or otherwise not able to take the notes, someone else should take that responsibility. The meeting minutes are very important to those not able to attend the meeting as well as to maintain a written records of discussions and decisions.
