Items Discussed
We should use the discussion tabs more. The discussion tab on the main page should be used for discussion about the structure of that page. Other discussion items should go elsewhere as appropriate.

A Wiki strongly suggests by its very nature that we put our pride of authorship aside and feel fine about others making changes on pages we author. This is a new way of thinking and we need to adjust.

There needs to be, however, best practices. The Wiki shouldn't be a 'Mormon' wiki, and we shouldn't emphasize the FHL collection over something available elsewhere that is better than what the library has. Links to items on the web should be up front.

U.S. Maps -- Michael -- using the Discussion tab to beg for help with over-hauling this page; we can do the same on other pages.
