*The Community Portal is too cluttered. Is it even being monitored?

*Why do we need forums separate from the wiki? And a separate sign-in?
*I'm discouraged by the complexities: discussion pages on multiple levels, forums, creating columns/tables, importing images, placing signatures on a discussion page is different than doing so in forums, sandboxes, user pages, why there can't be one editing tool instead of two that do two different things.
*Don't like having to sign in again to link to the forum.

*The wiki has incomplete and cryptic information and unsure lead-in to it. Needs to open with 10-15 research categories to stimulate and direct the user.

*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.  The map to the States is great!

*What information can be added from where? What about copyright issues?
*Where is the 'creative' team? A real '''Home Page''' is needed to attract people to this web-site. Put buttons on there that help people navigate or find instructions on how to input their own information. In English please and not computerese! Also a 'contact' button where people can sent e-mails and have them answered!

*For every country have a file where people can put copies of pictures in (plus the link where it was taken from), so that when they want to add a picture they can go to that file and copy and paste it instead of having to follow so many steps to add a picture - that will also assure that people can check on the copyright of that picture.

*When you minimize your screen on your monitor, the navigation on the right side of the page (or anything that is on that side) should not disappear to the bottom of the screen where people can't find it.

*Great application!!! Fun to use. Keep text on the left instead of RHS. Better to scroll to navigation rather than for every line of text. It's time to nail down the place naming policy. Glitz and colour are unimportant.
