Tracy-
I think this is a great idea!! I know it had been discussed before about
featuring a different county each month and this may be along that line.
The only draw back I can think of is - not all cc's are created equally and
by this I mean- we have cc's on all different knowledge levels and how would
we be able to take this into account when giving this award? I think this
would be a great way to honor the great group and hard work they do here in
Wisconsin!

I am going to throw a little curve ball into this discussion.....
please bear with me...
I feel that sometimes, people get frustrated and have no outlet for their
frustration. For USGenWeb county coordinators and others, it is hard to
understand the full structure sometimes.
I know that I often get frustrated with a lack of volunteers, etc etc. for
my own county
But...........
LETS TAKE THIS TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
Sometimes, a pat on the back goes a long way toward boosting the enthusiam
of someone, as well as letting them know that we appreciate all of their
hard work.
So.........
I am throwing this out, purely for discussion.........
I think that Wisconsin should have a committee (don't groan, I heard you)
to recognize and award those counties that have really done a great job on
their website. Too many of us (me included) sometimes feel that our work
is not appreciated, and that is disheartening sometimes, and colors our
thought process.
My idea is that this should be given out perhap only yearly, and that has
two advantages......it won't be so time consuming for the committee to look
at sites etc etc, and it would make the award highly valued, coveted, and
so on!
Now, I know you all groaned when I mentioned another committee, but this is
just for this list. And I just want other feedback on this.
What do you all think?????
