Hi, Everyone,
I am in the process of cleaning up the membership roll for CTGenWeb to send our report to
the USGenWeb Election Committee.
Many official CTGenWeb town sites were housed on other domains, and if they have been
abandoned, we have NO control except to try to make clear to the public which site is
current and part of the CTGenWeb. If we are encouraging volunteer participation, I think
we must make it clear if the link to a town site is an OUTSIDE LINK, and WHOM to contact
to make a contribution to the current CC, or TC, or Special Project Coordinator.
Active members are required to be subscribed to the state list. When a CC or TC does not
answer roll call, I give it a month, and then send a personal email. If there is no
response, I'll send another message. If it bounces, I'll do a thorough search on
the Internet, looking for alternate emails or web pages. If everything bounces, I am
removing that name from the list.
I've determined that these names should be removed as TC or CC from all pages, and if
you continue linking to their sites, PLEASE make it clear that they are OUTSIDE LINKS, and
that the visitors should contact the current CC with any new contributions. Otherwise,
enthusiastic researchers and volunteers will be going around in circles.
Unless someone has more insight, I have determined that these former coordinators'
names should be removed as TCs. If I have made a mistake, let me know! Otherwise, please
check your pages and make the change:
*Grace Coffman
*Louise Neu
*Joan deGrandis Reynolds
*Ray Brown has been gone since 2008. Definitely, link to his massive reseach sites, but
please make it clear that he is no longer active.
*Kathleen Baker - ditto
The only other postscript is that I am setting up a Google Group for CTGenWeb, in case
RootsWeb goes down, so be on the lookout in the next week or so for an invitation.
Thanks everyone for sticking with me through this transition. :-)
