*Minutes are online for yesterday's meeting | |||
*Discussion of Surname project suggested by Lee Drew - issues,etc. are summarized in the minutes. There is a concern about opening the door to individual names being added to the Wiki. | |||
*Should be further explored but '''guidelines''' would have to exist | |||
*Nathan Murphy has worked surnames on other pages - he would be a good reference person | |||
*Pages would have to be '''fully developed''' | |||
*Wikipedia has handled this very well. | |||
*Different spellings would have to be addressed - separate pages or just on the main page? | |||
*Would this project draw people in to the Wiki? | |||
*Considering the extent of the work we need to do in the Wiki now, should we give resources to this kind of a large project? | |||
*Volunteers could be used to populate these pages | |||
*Next step to a decision of whether to pursue this as a project or to reject: | |||
*This would cause a change to the scope of the Wiki - we would need a project proposal that would contain the discussion here and that would go to the Community Council and General Services Community Council | |||
