Recognition

 * The Community Center is the place to be!

 * Featured Wiki Pages

Information items

 * The Portal to Un-Portal project continues making progress, but it's slow! More help is needed. Please consider joining this group project and help complete this conversion!
 * There is a newly discovered problem with some links in the Wiki that previously went to FamilySearch.org pages containing Research Outlines, pedigree charts, family group sheets, etc.. This issue was just posted to the Forum. It appears the old Plone URL is now owned by someone else, therefore a large number of links in the Wiki incorrectly go to the site familysearchwiki.org - Please join in the investigation of this problem and help resolve the issue. You can find this thread at: Major problem with some links to FamilySearch.org including links to example pages where this issues was found.

Someone forgot to renew the domain, and someone else simply grabbed it when it became available. I only get a Searchnut page, and the new owner is using domain privacy provided by the registrar.


 * Yeah, that is what I found too. I put comments in the forum. Thomas_Lerman 21:12, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This matter will self-resolve as we find and replace the links that directed to the old site with links on this current one, we won't get every last one immediately but we should get the vast majority of them rather quickly. JamesAnderson 22:17, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Chat History

 * Laralee: same with me &amp; ditto

 * cottrells: https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Special:Search?fulltext=true&amp;search=familysearchwiki.org&amp;searchbutton=Search
 * Laralee: I would suggest that we make an announcement about it to remind folks to check/change any old bookmarks.
 * Fran Jensen: Good idea Laralee - thank you! Do you have a suggestion where this announcement should be posted? Maybe on the Home page?
 * Laralee: home page for sure
 * Laralee: not everyone will see it of course, but best to make it known in high view pages. Also known issues maybe?
 * Ben Bennett (FamilySearch): we can do something like that... list of known issues
 * Laralee: some issues may have been pre-new login and just not noticed until now because we weren't aware of any need to look closely at things
 * Laralee: which may make things even trickier to track down
 * Don Stringham: true :(
 * Laralee: maybe we could get a few pages that people are watching and make edits to test if the notices are going out?
 * Laralee: faster to do it that way than try and check histories
 * Don Stringham: I have to sign-out because of another committment.
 * Laralee: thanks Don
 * Ben Bennett (FamilySearch): Thanks Don!!!
 * Don Stringham: Ok, the mail server has been purged and should be running fine now.
