I think that will give you a better idea of what is or will be happening on NFS.Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091194153695073230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-74660447001835665562011-07-08T12:56:27.860-07:002011-07-08T12:56:27.860-07:00I think that most of your guesses are spot on.
Fa...I think that most of your guesses are spot on.<br /><br />FamilySearch, like all organizations, is operating on a budget that limits human and machine resources. So there are priorities, especially within divisions that are overloaded with development tasks on a deadline.<br /><br />FS has also lost some key people in recent months - Dan Lawyer and Anne roach come to mind, and perhaps others I'm not aware of. <br /><br />If I were management, I would list my top priorities as bringing digital collections online (indexed or not), getting newFamilySearch ready for prime time, and keeping the Research Wiki spinning out information. When those are working well with sufficient resources and support, then the "wanna have" and "neat things" may be addressed.<br /><br />Being in the non-LDS community, I see how little is really known about FamilySearch by the rank-and-file genea-society member. They know that FS has lots of microfilms and some crappy online databases (IGI, AF), but many have no clue about the Wiki, the Historical Collections, the Research Courses, etc.Randy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.com
