Announcements

 * Fran will not be in the meeting today due to conflicting appointments. We are looking for a volunteer to help by facilitating the meeting today. Interested? --Fran
 * Fran asked me if I would lead the meeting today. I happily agreed --Steve 19:48, 13 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I experimented with signing an agenda item that was added by James a couple days ago. I think we should eventually think about developing an "unsigned" template to be used when editor forget to sign their comments. Since we don't have the template right now, I signed the agenda item manually for James.
 * Sorry about that, but given that, we do need one. Wikipedia has a way of doing this, given they have a lot of editors that don't sign in anyway, you will see this and the possible code on talk pages there.  JamesAnderson 18:41, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

 * National Archives (United States) wiki.

The National Archives and Records Administration, commonly known as NARA, has set up their own wiki for the purpose of providing more information about their holdings. May prove very useful as things are added for general US or state wikiprojects. When good articles appear, it would be a good idea to link to the content.

Article in August 2000 Ensign (LDS Church magazine) about family history on the Internet as it existed at that time. Shows sample of old-style Geocities links, there are two in the article.
