*I'd like to add a follow up discussion concerning Business Cards for Wiki Page Adopters and Moderators, in particular, for the upcoming Rootstech conference. I have a document with some suggested card styles to be discussed. --[[User:Carolbmoss|Carol B. Moss]] 20:48, 27 December 2011 (UTC)  
:*FYI '''[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject New York|WikiProject New York]]''' has moved their progress chart ([http://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&key=0AmXhwzbZndLfdGh6SThqNkRwVHBYLUxDX3g2RmUwZXc&hl=en_US&gid=2 tasks list and instructions]) and [http://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&key=0AmXhwzbZndLfdGh6SThqNkRwVHBYLUxDX3g2RmUwZXc&hl=en_US&gid=3 progress graph] off the Wiki to GoogleDocs. Links on the Wiki project page point the way to GoogleDocs. Instructions on GoogleDocs explain community members who wish to participate will need to contact project leaders to be added to the GoogleDocs edit list. [[User:DiltsGD|David Dilts]]<br>
 
:*Darris will check on need for help at the Rootstech conference
:*Is help needed for a Wiki booth?
:*Tech tips - demo area for FamilySearch
:*Carol will look at adding a compass to the magnifiying glass on the proposed card and present that next week. Consensus is to use design that is on the right of the examples shown.  
:*More discussion could be had for further designs for future use in other aspects.
:*Carol would send a template so that people could print their own
:*Could we have some blank ones to be handed out at Rootstech?  Consultants in consultant's training, for instance.  Darris said that we could have some generic ones printed for the conference.
:*The possibility of having a station where contributors  could print their own cards?
 
**Has anyone used the "Share" feature to send a wiki article via email?  It isn't working, and I'm thinking probably hasn't been working for some time.  Since I didn't try it until October or November last year (when we had the email notifications issue), I assumed the problem was part of that issue, which is now resolved, I think.
