Barn Raising February 2009
The following tasks were defined during the England Barn Raising in February 2009. Some of these articles came from the old England Research outline and need to be updated. This first table lists those topics that are part of this phase of the barn raising.

Simple tasks
Potentially, a large number of volunteers in the community may feel unqualified to write a 'how to' article on a subject of interest, but they are available to do simple tasks that support the writing of articles. This is the place to list and/or volunteer for those tasks! If you're a writer, here's where you can get some help. If you're a volunteer or community member, here's where you can give some!

Other England Pages to Update
Many of these articles came from the old England Research outline and need to be updated. This table lists all topics for all phases of England barn raisings. They are listed here to give you the opportunity to take a task even if all of those above are taken or none of them meet your interests. You may add tasks you think are needed or add a note to one you think is not needed for England.While these pages are not part of the February 2009 barn raising, they can be worked on at any time, and may be the focus for a future phase of England barn raisings.

England county pages to update
These pages should be written during the second phase of the barn raising.
