1	New pages need to be patrolled regularly and preferably within a day of being placed on the site.  We need a critical mass of patrollers, spending hours each day/week.
2	Patrol and remove unused images
3	Re-create all of the links from place pages to record-type pages

6	New user want to edit but is intimidated by the FCK Editor and wants to know how to use it.  Get an FCK Editor "User Guide" readily available for all users to see and learn from.  Research to see if one already exists, and if it doesn't then we will need to write one) Help:FCKeditor Help	The Earl
7	Write a "Things you can do on the wiki (to help make it better)" page aimed at the community: E.g. Write content, disambiguate, Categorization, Linking Orphans and Dead ends
8	We need to have a way on the Wiki for users to publicly post, per each domain, requests for content to be added that is not present but needed or desired. There also needs to be a way for others to state agreement, or add their vote so that the most important ones are the ones with the most votes.

18	I need to know how and when I can add a language site.  What critical mass is needed and then once that is identified how can it actually be added?  Create process proposal and then write "How to"	Jim Greene
19	Evaluate the following Mediawiki extentions to see if they would be good on this site: Antispoof, Category Tree, Cite/Cite PHP, Confirm Edit, Check User, Deleted Contributions, Central Notice, New User Log, Spam Black List, Blacklist, User Name Blacklist
