<br>The project will begin in earnest January 1, 2012 and is expected to be very active for three to six months. With people like YOU, the [http://www.ugagenealogy.org/ Utah Genealogical Association] (UGA), and a few at the Family History Library, let's make the Utah-related pages easily understood, inviting, and oh, so useful!

*In the [[FamilySearch Wiki talk:WikiProject Utah Experimental County|discussion]] for the experimental county.

*In the [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah#Community_Meetings|weekly online meeting]], Wednesdays at 9:00 a.m. (Mountain)

'''Current focus:'''

*The top of the page: image, chart, chart contents, chart colors: accepted sufficiently to start putting it on each county

'''Ideas implemented''' into current format:  

*Starting to move the chart at the top of the page and adapt it to each county[[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 15:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

See [[Beaver County, Utah|Beaver County]] for current format.  

To be clear, this is not a committment of labor. It is a pool of expertise and advisors.  

Impact future users of the Utah Wiki with '''your''' insights and knowledge.

*[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks FHL Topics|Links to topics in the Family History Library Catalog]] This allows only the best items to be highlighted in the Wiki while informing users of other records or resources that are available. This also makes it so the Wiki won't have to be updated each time new things are added to the sites included.

These are not yet ready, but you may want to know what is on the horizon.

*[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks Top Table|Top Table in the counties]] Copy and adapt the table (from the [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Experimental County|Experimental County]]) to each county.&nbsp;

*Family Associations/Societies Links to organizations based on descendency (e.g. Jared Pratt Family Association) [[User:Dggard|Dggard]] 08:49, 14 November 2011 (UTC) Great idea! We will implement this. [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 00:03, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

*Native American records [[User:Dggard|Dggard]] 08:12, 14 November 2011 (UTC) Another great idea. Much may already be done, which we will link to for sure. Thanks! [[User:AdkinsWH|AdkinsWH]] 00:03, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

 

 

*[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks GenWeb Links|County GenWeb Links]] Link to databases on county GenWeb databases, with information to help users decide to click or not.

*[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks County Headings 2|County Headings 2]] Comments on the Discussion page for county headings have prompted some changes that need to be made to each county. *[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks County Headings|County Headings]] The genealogical community has given careful consideration to the headings and their arrangement in each county. The Utah county headings were created some time ago, and now need to be "remodeled," so to speak. That is the purpose of this task. It requires attention to detail, but is otherwise an easy task to accomplish.

*[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks County Courthouse|County Courthouse]] Find uncopyrighted images of the courthouse (historical or current) and upload them. List their contact information (address, phone, email), including a link to website, addresses, etc.

*Meeting times: Administrators -- 9 a.m. Wednesday mornings, 3rd floor FHL. [[WikiProject Utah Meeting Agendas|Agendas]]. [[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Meeting Notes|Minutes]].

*Headings (anything that would appear in a table of contents) match with FHL Catalog subject headings as much as possible Example: [[Talk:Beaver County, Utah|Beaver County, Utah]]
