I don't mind baby sitting. are these on INGenWeb.org or elsewhere? If elsewhere we would probably have to start from scratch.

7 are on RW. 3 on a private server. 1 on INGW and one updated the link in the past few days. I can probably get the RW sites turned over to me if there has been no activity in the past 6 months. I will email Gerhard to check on that.

I heard from Gerhard today. He reassigned these county sites to me

http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~indecatu/indecatu.html - last update Mar 5 2007
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~inowen/owenindx.html - last update June 30 2007
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~inripley/ - last update Aug 5 2006
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~inrush/ - last update Mar 7 2007

In addition I have reassigned Blackford which was last updated Jan 28, 2008

If there is one you would like to babysit, let me know and I will send you the password.

Which ever is convenient for you. Jeff

Just let me know which county. I'm here. Late tonight, sorry.

Sheri is taking Decatur. That leaves Owen, Ripley and Rush. These four are posted on the Orphan County page.

I assume as caretakers we are supposed to start fixing? (If we can).

I propose that we change the name of the webpage from "Guidelines and Procedures" to "Requirements and Procedures".

Guidelines is too vague and makes it sound like there is a choice as to whether they are followed or not.

#1 1. Maintain your County website and keep it in good working order. All links should work and should be checked periodically. Your County site should be enhanced and updated over time by adding additional data and information. Actual data should be added no less than twice yearly. Seeking appropriate data submissions by users of your county website is encouraged. Examples of data to be added may include, but is not limited to: Vital Records Indexes, such as, births, deaths, marriages or divorces; Court records, such as, wills, probate, land, guardianships, delayed birth records; adoption, bible records, biographies, cemeteries (information about & burial records or tombstone readings), census indexes or transcriptions, church records, directories, funeral home records, diaries, military indexes, county histories, newspaper articles, business records, naturalizations, obituaries, old settlers, & land owners. Visitors should have an easy way to contact you such as an email link or submission form.

The only thing I would change on item #1 is the last line. Suggestion - "Your email address or a link to your contact page (with email address) should be prominently displayed on your entry or index page."

That sounds good.
Other than adding 'functioning' email link I don't think you could add anything more or make it more clear.
