Progress reports

 * Review the revised Table at top by Jana, Liz, Wilma
 * Tip icon What do you think? Tip icon also used in neighboring counties - always, or for every 4th or so county?
 * Obituaries task description written and the task accomplished already by Liz, Jana, Lois, and Elizabeth Kesler (who is new to the project).
 * Karen Coombs has expressed interest in helping. She has been on vacation, so we will be in contact again soon.
 * Patsy made meeting recordings reviewable by public.
 * Liz reviewed the table with 20-25 people at her Family History Center: OVERWHELMINGLY in favor of the table and having it and the picture at the top.
 * Some fckeditor problems were encountered, which especially affected the entire Carbon County page. May have something to do with editing tables.
 * The fckeditor also is putting in headings when we "show preview". It makes it so the heading is not searchable.
