Thanks to whoever came up with the method to 'hide' the CID numbers in the wiki pages. Simple and effective and probably an excellent solution for all or nearly all users. [[User:Laraleepn|Laralee]] 18:56, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

=== New Community Meeting Home Page ===
=== Welcome Newcomers ===


* Note the new design of the Community Meeting home page. Comments and suggestions for continued improvement are always welcome.

* Submitting agenda items for the weekly meetings can now be done two different ways. First, on the agenda Discussion page itself. Second, on the Forum thread: [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=1889 Community Meeting agenda suggestions]


=== Taking action on your feedback: fixes coming soon to the wiki! ===
=== New Community Meeting Home Page  ===
Based on your feedback, we've made a number of fixes to the wiki.  Some of these have already been implemented and others will show up this next week.  Specifically:


1. Editing timeout workaround (based on feedback from various posts in the forums): We've implemented a pop up message when you've got 2 minutes before your session times out. This will allow you to save your work or copy and paste your work to another location in the event that you're not quite ready to save. Note that this solution is a bit of a 'band-aid' and we're working on a long term fix for this issue.

2. Fix re-direct issues after logging into the wiki (based on feedback from various posts in the forums): Currently, when you're browsing the wiki and you decide you want to edit a page and log in, you're re-directed to the home page (vs. being re-directed back to the page you were previously viewing).  We've fixed this to reduce the nuisance factor.

3. Make FCK editor the default editor vs. having users have to select this option (based on feedback from [http://forums.familysearch.org/en/showthread.php?t=1625 forum thread #1625]). 
Based on your feedback, we've made a number of fixes to the wiki. Some of these have already been implemented and others will show up this next week. Specifically:  


4. Display wiki footnotes without forcing the users to log in (from various forum posts).

*We want to make it easy for you to share the Wiki with all your friends and family. If you would like copies of the Wiki "Pass it on" card, please let us know and we will mail some to you.
*In addition, we would like to create a little kit that will make it easy for anyone to share the Wiki with those we come in contact with. Your ideas for other things, besides the ''Pass-it-on'' cards, could be included in a little kit that will help you share the Wiki with others?
