Historical Perspective[edit | edit source]

The community meeting started off as a user group meeting with a lot of the discussions centered around the early development of the wiki. Currently the meeting is centered around some of the technical aspects of the wiki, development of the content and procedures. Some of the attendees that have regularly attended these meetings both past and present include: Jimmy, Lise, Laralee, Thomas, JamesA, SteveC, Chris, Dsammy, JudyW, DonS, The Earl, Bromaelor, Michael, Alan, Baerbel, Bakerbh, LynnT, AnneW, KaraW, Diltsgd, Familyjournals, DavidC, G Fröberg Morris, Genguide, Molliewog, RoachA, Darris, Gina, MarkS, Wilma, Warren , Janell, Charles.
