-Nathan Murphy (Linda Carver) and the team  who have been adding the online collections to the Wiki pages.  Accessing those collections from the Wiki saved me a lot of time when I was researching my family, recently.  Huge thanks for this resource and the links that have been provided![[User:Averyld|averyld]]

-*Forum replacement - Lee Drew
-*Yammer - lacks categories and login can be tricky; not searchable by Google (probably not a solution due to having to be invited)
-*FS Groups - can search by topic but categories are an issue
-*Google groups - may not be a stable option; may be absorbed into Communities in Google+; can have categories
-*Google Communities - categories (Lee's favorite)
-*We encourage everyone to look at all the options - this may be a transitional source waiting for FamilySearch to determine a permanent solution

-Benjamin Franklin "Living without a goal is like shooting without a target."
+'''New since last week'''
-In an effort to move discussion items to completion, I am proposing that we use the following outline, subject to change, as a way to help us achieve  that.  This could be put in a table if we ever get the gridlines back!  For instance, I have been contacting Wiki Project leaders to get the status of those projects on the page "Wiki Projects Seeking Contributors".  I am proposing that we create an Archive page for the finished, cancelled or suspended pages that would have the link to the main project pages on it.  Then, we could have a badge created for those pages so that people would know immediately that the project is finished, etc.
