Tina-
I took a few minutes to read over the basic requirements. I think the
guidelines are good - it gives the leeway that one does not have to already
know all about setting up a website but the willingness to learn.
The concern I have and not sure that it fits here - is the updating or
adding to the websites. In the past I know there were a few counties that
laid dormant for year(s) and this to me is not good. Where will this issue
be addressed? I don't want to see that cc's have to update or add to every
day, week, etc. but what can be done about a site laying dormant that long
length of time? Should it be left to go that long?

DISCUSSION: Basic Requirements for becoming a WIGenWeb
Project County Coordinator.
Below I have listed an outline of the very basic
requirements to become a WIGenWeb County Coordinator. This
is in no way complete and I provide it for discussion and
brainstorming purposes only. I will admit that in compiling
these I visited many USGenWeb Project State pages, so the
ideas aren't all original, but seem to work well in the
states I visited.
I would like to use these discussions as we go along to not
only update our WIGenWeb Project Guidelines pages (by
majority vote of WIGenWeb Project volunteers), but to also
compile a listing of useful resources to incorporate into a
"Volunteers Helping Volunteers" website. Future discussion
topics will deal with the "nitty gritty" of the role of
State Coordinator, Assistant State Coordinator, County
Coordinator, Assistant County Coordinator etc.
Please take time to read the outline, and to share
thoughts, ideas, comments and resources you may have to
expand and improve.
Thanks!
Tina
