Hi, Jo Ann Boyd Scott here, Big Horn County, MT, am
forwarding my e-mail from scottj53(a)charter.net to this
yahoo one which has my hubby's name on it. Tried to
reduce it to one e-mail address as we are in MT. for
the summer and fall and away from home.
Great job Nathan, took a lot of work to get it
together, seems to be a few sticking points that can
be worked out.
1) I wanted to add another one not mentioned:
Two weeks for a new CC to get the web site up and
running is too short depending on the new CC's home
/work life. I know it is aggravating to see a web site
empty but we could lose good CC's for the two week
limit.
2)Project Name?? BigHornGenWEbProject or is there a
space after WEb? or BigHornMTGenWebProject?
My opinion, can do it, will have to cut and paste to
get the spaces,capitals right. No problem if that is
what everyone wants.
I believe it won't make one bit of difference for this
problem: I get queries for Big Horn County MT. and
mistaken ones for Big Horn County WY. They are close
in MT. miles and some migrate from BHC WY to BHC, MT.
It is a confusion that takes time to figure out.
What I have done to combat this is put the word
MONTANA everywhere I can on the web
site.(crowreservation.com)...(even that doesn't help
the beginner) Not sure what would be the easiest for
all sides. I want it to be obvious for the beginning
genealogist that e-mails the query to me, that is what
it is about. Would they know if they read:
BigHornMTGenWebProject or BigHornGenWEbProject
I added the the original statement below with no
changes so you could decide what would fit best in
your county and your circumstances. Sincerely, Jo Ann
Boyd Scott.
The name of our organization is "The MTGenWeb
Project." The name, "The MTGenWeb Project," and "The
XXGenWeb Project" (where XX is the county name of one
of the Montana counties) are service marks and
reserved exclusively for The MTGenWeb Project and any
websites representing The MTGenWeb Project. Please
note that the correct name and spelling is in upper
and lower case letters without any space breaks in
form (correct: MTGenWeb incorrect: MT GenWeb or MTGen
Web).
