1. '''Navigation on left'''


1. Navigation should be moved to the '''left''' side. On many computers you have to scroll to the right to find it. People I have helped didn't know where it was until I told them to scroll over. People read from left to right. Wikipedia and FamilySearch both have left navigation.

2. Where is the 'creative' team? A real '''Home Page''' is needed to attract people to this web-site. Put buttons on there that help people navigate or find instructions on how to input their own information. In English please and not computerese! Also a 'contact' button where people can sent e-mails and have them answered!

3. For every country have a file where people can put copies of pictures in (plus the link where it was taken from), so that when they want to add a picture they can go to that file and copy and paste it instead of having to follow so many steps to add a picture - that will also assure that people can check on the copyright of that picture.

4. '''Columns - an absolute nightmare!!!'''

5. Why 'wiki-text' and not just the 'copy and paste' possibility?

6. Don't like it that I constantly have to save my contributions as otherwise I will lose what I may have worked on for hours. What I put in should stay there till I say 'Save'
 
7. Provide good training.  


8. Nail down the geographic names policy. Small to large or reverse? Also where does the topic go? Is it Cemeteries Queensland, Australia or Queensland, Australia Cemeteries?
