FamilySearch Wiki:Technical Meeting

Come and get help, learn, and forge solutions with other community contributors! We hold community meetings to discuss content, technical issues, workarounds, community, site design, and strategy. Everyone who attends learns something new that makes it easier and more fun to contribute to the wiki.

Our community meetings frequently discuss style guidelines. Please refer to the Manual of Style page and its discussion page for ongoing community discussions to reach agreement on guidelines.

When
The wiki community meetings are on  Tuesdays  from 2:00-3:00 PM (mountain time)

Attend the community meeting from home!
Attend our community meeting remotely! To attend, you will need to connect to both the audio and video portions:


 * VIDEO: We are in the process of switching the Adobe Conference feed from Michael's account to Fran's: Click here to access the new meeting. If this doesn't work, we will use Michael's old meeting link. If you find that you are "waiting for the meeting to start" and it is close to starting or should have started, try hitting refresh on your browse.
 * AUDIO: To attend the audio portion, you may connect in one of two methods. Both methods will be recorded with the video portion. The first method is recommended and preferable. Using either method, you may mute at any time by pressing *6.
 * The best method is to first connect to the video portion. The video portion will display a window to allow you to put in your telephone number. If you do such, the system will call you. To enter after being called, you will be prompted to press 1 to enter the meeting. This allows the video portion to see who is speaking.
 * The alternative method allows you to call in to connect with our telephone bridge: Call 866-910-4857. At the prompt, provide the participant code 745570 followed by #. This method is less desirable as it displays you as an "Unknown dial in" attendee in addition to your video attendee. You may participate with the audio bridge without seeing the video, but people may not know who you are. Some systems may not allow you to press telephone keys after the connection has been made.
