Welcome to the Germany barn raising page! A wiki barn raising is a short, focused community effort to create or revise content relating to a specific locality or topic. The following tasks need to be accomplished during the Germany barn raising beginning in March 2009. Please volunteer to complete one or more tasks by adding your name to this list. Before you can add your name to the list below, you must [http://fch.ldschurch.org/FSWiki/Register/Register8.html register.]. After you have registered and confirmed your e-mail address:
 
#Log in to the Wiki<br>
#Navigate to the Germany Barn Raising page<br>
#On the Germany Barn Raising page, click the "Edit" page option located in the page options box to the right. This will open the "Editing" window.<br>
#Locate the task you wish to work on in the tables below, then input three tildes (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>) in the 'sign up...' column (the third column) across from the task description. This will automatically insert a link to your user page and allow you to "sign up" for a task. More than one user may sign up for a task, and should collaborate together to avoid repetitive or conflicting information.<br>
#Scroll down to the bottom of the editing page until you can see the "Save page" button.<br>
#Click on the "Save page" button to save your changes.<br>
 
'''More than one person may sign up to work on a given task'''. That way, those that sign up for a task can also communicate with each other on what they are doing.
 
== Germany Pages to Update as Part of the Barn Raising<br>  ==

== Simple tasks  ==
 
Potentially, a large number of volunteers in the community may feel unqualified to write a 'how to' article on a subject of interest, but they are available to do simple tasks that support the writing of articles. This is the place to list and/or volunteer for those tasks!&nbsp; If you're a writer, here's where you can get some help. If you're a volunteer or community member, here's where you can give some!

== Other England Pages to Update <br>  ==
 
Many of these articles came from the old England Research outline and need to be updated.&nbsp; This table lists all topics for all phases of England barn raisings. They are listed here to give you the opportunity to take a task even if all of those above are taken or none of them meet your interests. You may add tasks you think are needed or add a note to one you think is not needed for England.While these pages are not part of the February 2009 barn raising, they can be worked on at any time, and may be the focus for a future phase of England barn raisings.<br>
