Discussion Items
Question: Sometime ago we discussed linking to obsolete research outlines. I thought the decision then was to NOT link to them, since their content had been imported into the Wiki and is now updated. It appears there are some who are mounting a project to link the old outlines to the Wiki. Should we or should we not link to them? Jimmy B. Parker 07:05, 20 November 2010 (UTC)


 * They will be gone when the Wiki go live with other sites. Dilts acted fast to remove those outlines originating from BYU site (it was one person's act). Only then I wish I could see what's in those outlines and incorporate them into Wiki since I did a glance of one state to know they're not same as ones as old FS Library research outlines. Wilma Atkins is one in charge of checking and converting the outlines to the Wiki. Dsammy 22:24, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
