From the Community

• Update to Home Page of Beta FamilySearch

  Instead of making it easier to find Wiki, they made it harder to find it with a obscuring link. You can see there's no mention of "Wiki" in the announcement itself. Dsammy 18:34, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

• Potential bug to be looking for. See Portal:Szepes/Intro page -Fran 19:39, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I was not able to attend the meeting, so I apologize. More details would be nice. Are you talking about the image captions being lost? If so, that is a bug that has been talked about for months. If I recall correctly, that is one of the editor bugs. Let me do a quick search. Searching the forums, I found a posting Image captions MIA, Parameters for images, and Rich editor stripped out text from image. The latter talks about it being discussed in the 02 Feb 2010 meeting. If it is something else, please let me know. If this is the subject, I think it is a shame that it appears this is another bug that has been forgotten or fell through the cracks.

• New Common Taxonomy. It is proposed that the New Common Taxonomy be used as the way to structure topics on the Wiki. The main impact of this structure would be to significantly change the "Browse by Topic" page. Does anyone have any suggestions or objections before this change is made?
