Janell for being on the FGS radio broadcast chat, fielding questions. I saw Steve there, too. Not sure who else was there. Thanks! Lise 18:10, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Sandra Pond and the Wiki support team for bringing broken links down from over 4,000 to 30!

Thomas MacEntee has requested help developing a "getting started with the FamilySearch wiki" page for the FGS web site. I think it's a great opportunity to help facilitate societies' contributions to the wiki. He already has the link to the Contributor Help page. I'd love to brainstorm ideas for a page for FGS.
