 *Wiki needs easily creatable formats for new pages.
 *Wiki is bland - it needs to look more creative.
 *The wiki has incomplete&nbsp;and cryptic information and unsure lead-in to it. Needs to open with 10-15 research categories to stimulate and direct the&nbsp;user.&nbsp;
+*Too complicated and circurtous.
+*Too much training required to even start - discouraging. Needs to be 1 2 3 done.
+*Need clear meaningful categories of real interest up front. Step-by-step, simple and attractive. Don't bury links in sentences or paragraphs. The countries are good, especialy USA but general and incomplete.&nbsp; The map to the States is great!
+*Wiki needs to start out with a better opening. One in a country or category it gets better.
+*The wiki needs a&nbsp;"Here's what you will love" opening matrix, if possible.
+*It's too hard to figure out hat to put in the search box without suggestions.
+*The site needs color.
+*When I&nbsp;first tried to explore the site I&nbsp;got lost or was refused entry.
+*You need training to use it.
+*The "Help" needs to be more visible and more helpful.
+*I&nbsp;had a hard time finding "Home". Most sites have it on top center or left to easily get back to the home page.
+*Editing is hard. &nbsp;I couldn't find training or support. The wiki really needs quick guides on how to edit.
+*The wiki could use a video to help train on how to use it.
+*If I&nbsp;want to contribute but it is too hard, could I&nbsp;email the information to someone and they could enter it for me?
+*As far as foreign language research goes, other websits are more thorough like genealogy.net. Most serious contributors are outside of the USA&nbsp;and are not capable to contribute in English. Societies or individuals who want to contribute something usually have their own sites or contibute through societies.
