-**Illinois community has decided to put all repositories, including court houses, as well as societies and museums at the bottom of the page. And they've reorganized the repositories' grouping. Their thinking is that users want records - especially online ones - before they want to know repositories, We do not have to follow this lead. In fact we will not worry about that at this time. We will spend our time instead focusing on content. Organization will come later.

 *[[FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah Tasks GenWeb Links|UT GenWeb task]]: is it ready? Not until we have some guidelines for sites we link to. We will discuss that next week.
+*County church info, The project is not
+** We need to consider all denoninations. If we list them in Alphabetical order the Mormon Church won't be first in most counties.
+** what name should mormon church be called: Mormon, LDS, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? W think the official name of the Church is too long. If we use the populat name for other religions, we shouls do it for our own church.

+** With Phase I LDS use Jenson's Encyclopedic History
 '''Parking lot''' for future (These are carried forward until discussed)
