News
News items can now be found on the Community News page in the Wiki.
 * Time is running out for feedback. The FamilySearch Beta site has the current page designs for the wiki content. Take a minute to review the West Virginia page and the Czech Republic pages for examples. Two items to make note of is the small topics content box is automatically being pulled over to the right when the page is saved. When you are editing the page, the small column appears at the bottom of the edit box. Is this a problem? We need your feedback on this ASAP. Another thing to watch for on all pages is that the content is not going beyond the visual border of the page. I don't have an example page to look at because I think they were all fixed. Links to the Beta site and the Forum thread can be found at the top of the Forum screen:
 * Forum thread for comments
 * FamilySearch Beta
 * As of 2:30 pm, June 2, 2010 the Forum has not received feedback based up the most recent changes made to the wiki page designs on Beta.

 * Suggested item for the agenda -- Steve has proposed an artricle rating system for our Wiki articles. Could we have him give everyone a brief explanation of the whys and hows of such a system and then have some discussion on it? Jimmy B. Parker 14:43, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the development of a rating system. I have posted replies to two threads (Good Article > community graphics & editing > Featured Article & Flagging pages that need editing) that raised associated issues and would be willing to discuss the system further in these threads. Please note: I will not be able to attend the meeting on June 8. --Steve 15:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
