Introduce new members

Only a few have been invited to this first community meeting for the Utah Project. Let's take a minute to get acquainted and please tell us if you are a:


 * Project leader
 * Recruit from Logan Family History Conference, Oct, 2011
 * Recruit from a class in Riverton, Mar or Apr, 2011
 * Missionary
 * Other

Kudos go to ...


 * Missionaries for the Community Catalyst team at FamilySearch. They have graciously notified each of you about the meeting, how to register to contribute to the Wiki, and how to sign on to the meeting. Some are even participating in the tasks!

Updates and follow up

This is the "refining" area. We'll follow-up on tasks to learn where instructions need to be clarified, and to help us all better understand what was REALLY wanted.


 * This is a good place to mention that instructions are soooo improvable and understanding them won't be perfect. There is a learning curve, especially for the first few tasks. Let's make it safe for each other to make mistakes, learn from them, and fix them as we move forward. Mistakes create a great learning opportunity for each of us.

Training and Training Requests


 * Overview of tasks (using the soon to roll out Cemeteries task)
 * Links to how to's
 * Instructions, description, etc.

Business/Announcements

Here, you will be informed of any problems with the Wiki itself, and changes by engineers or upper management.


 * IMPORTANT! Save page has been inconsistent for the past few weeks. Do not lose your work! If you get the "Sorry!...." message, don't retype anything. Simply Save page again -- and again until it works. (For me, frequently on the second time.)
