1)How valuable is it?
It seemed to us that we always get an influx of data on the day these
reports go out. Have you seen this?
I think this info is very valuable to any researcher. I have the Recent
Uploads to Georgia Archives URL listed on "my" GA web sites, & I try to
pass
along to the lists I admin, if someone else doesn't, & pass along
wherever
else I can. I couldn't understand why Ken seemed to be doing it ALL,
but
never have asked either. I just figured he was a great guy, & had
nothing
better to do! LOL
2)Ken and I (and several others) have started sending the "thank
you"note
to the individual and the county list at the same time....
Is this JUST as effective?
I guess I missed this, cause I don't know what that is???
4)I had a note from someone who is List Owner for many, many lists,
and he
mentioned that he gets complaints since some people belong to many of
the
same lists.
I have had a few ask why their list were getting ALL of GA uploads,
rather
than just the mail list county. I had to say I didn't know.
So what do you think?
Should be we keep trying to do this....and just figure out a way so it
isn't so much work for Ken?
5)What have you found to be the MOST effective way to get people to
learn
about the value of the Archives?
Teamwork! I was thinking what if Ken just kept the uploads at the one
URL,
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gauploads.html maybe we could go in
& get
our "own" county info off to send to the lists we admin? Keep the URL
on our
web pages, & on each county archive page, if not already listed? OR
maybe
break down into regions, & have those send the info to their regions
lists/webmasters? Maybe this will give some ideas?
With having put over 365 family group sheets, I feel like I've put quite
a
burden on Ken. I could possibly send out a weekly report on group
sheets?
That might be nice too. Here could be an example:
Ura FAKE
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/bios/famgroupshts/f/fake.txt
Ima FAKE
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/bios/famgroupshts/f/fake2.txt
That might take a load off?????
