Improve the Wiki

 * Family History Centers - how can we help them? They are an extremely valuable resource.
 * Greatest untapped resource we have
 * In 2012, we need to show them how we can help them, what we have to help them with research
 * Steve & Vickie Funk have laid the groundwork with the Wiki trainer program. They have worked with 2-300 people from FHC's
 * Contact people who have worked with the Funk's and we need to be able to give them all the help and service possible.
 * We need to help right away, especially if they're trying to help a patron at the time they contact us.
 * Create unique classes for FHC's
 * Forge relations with them to give them unique help for the Wiki
 * Create Research Help Center similar to Contributor's Help Center?
 * User training lesson plan (Jane)


 * Pages that have the delete template on them need to have the links removed before the template is added - we need to get contributors to do that
 * Keep an eye on pages with Help Me template on them
