Purpose of the meeting
Improve the Wiki Forge solutions with other community contributors. Share best practices, ideas, and content. Discuss current issues, community matters, and strategies. Move issues to decision.

Best practices discussion: does it make sense to list an organization's hours of operation when there is no automated mechanism to keep those updated? It seems to me that it has the power to do more harm than good. This is particularly an issue with Family History Centers. Directors already have multiple places to update if their hours change, and no one wants patrons to have the experience of driving somewhere only to find that place is closed. My recommendation would be to provide a link to an organization's web site where hours are posted. Other thoughts? Lise 17:13, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
