General comments
Wilma, the construction in the Sandbox is WONDERFUL, so colorful, and such immediate feed back. I would stay on the Utah Project just because it is immediate success. Fabulious construction. Thank you for all of your hard work!!! Wyzer17 15:34, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Table at top
Suggestions:


 * What about the yellow as the middle color. To me yellow says "light bulb" with works with "ideas". Also wondering about a tan or something for the third color. Don't know what the meanings of colors are. Love the green as the first color. Like you said, Joy, green means "go." AdkinsWH 21:13, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Implemented Suggestions:


 * Wilma and others who visit this page. I have changed the colord on the first table, but feel they are not as inviting as more vibrant colors.  Would love you input.  Thank you! joy 20:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Joy. I'll take a lookAdkinsWH 21:09, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Wilma ... I fixed your spacing at the top of the TOC box where it is level with your Infobox  Jane evancol 21:19, 17 January 2012 (UTC)



Style guide
Suggestions:


 * Long lists of items:
 * columns
 * link to a separate page
 * Short list with a More link
 * Color, icons
 * What about using a light bulb and the color yellow on the pages for suggestions, not just words.AdkinsWH 18:53, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Implemented Suggestions:


 * Use Bullets for each item listed under a topic or heading.
 * Exception: blurb that explains more about the heading should be on the margin
 * Use SHORT paragraphs. Computer screen space is limited, people bypass paragraphs longer than 1 or 2 lines

Find and use records section
(Was located above Resources on the table of contents)

Suggestions:


 * Move this below resources. The term "Find records" should work for beginners and not interfere with experts. (Comments from meeting17 Jan, 2012)

Implemented on the Experimental page:


 * Moved the section down. Moved what was under "repositories" to this section. Created a separate section called "Guides to using records".AdkinsWH 19:24, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
