From FamilySearch Staff

 * A year ago, it was clear that many GenWeb contributors were wanting to find a new home for their content. Some like the idea of wikifying it because it would evolve faster that way and attract more contributors. We have a perishable opportunity to offer GenWeb contributors a good landing place before someone else does. The recent collaboration between this wiki's Idaho contributors and GenWeb's Idaho contributors raises an opportunity. Will we expand FamilySearch Wiki to include data sets like cemetery indexes or not? RitcheyMT 02:16, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Colfax County, New Mexico has good information, but it needs some editing help. What's the best way to flag an article to attract editors? I believe using a template isn't the answer because this would put a red flag at the top of the article that may offend or embarrass the article's major contributors. Would a category be less conspicuous? Would it also help to have a list of articles needing editing -- something like the Projects Seeking Contributors page? RitcheyMT 02:19, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
