FamilyTree:Community portal

Administrative To-Do

1. Set up more featured articles (and fill out the rest of that system)
2. Decide on on how marriage end dates should appear & revise those documented in other ways (Template talk:Marriage)
3. Legal: Do we need/want to provide the site's content under a license?
   1. E.g., WikiTree uses the GNU Free Documentation License
   2. E.g., Wikipedia uses the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License

Technical To-Do

1. Wiki bug: File uploaded but page is empty...
2. Wiki bug: Hugh Linn (1753). {{Reflist}} doesn't display when using the googlemaps plugin?
   1. This is apparently a known bug with no resolution

New Feature Ideas

1. Categories for place names (see people related to cities, states, countries) (e.g., Category:Path_Valley,_Franklin_County,_Pennsylvania)
2. Categories for births by year/decade/century (e.g., Category:2000_deaths)
3. Categories for surname (e.g., Category:Quinnell_surname)
4. Different namespaces for person, place, family, source, etc? (e.g. Place:Plymouth,_Massachusetts,_United_States, Person:Charles_Quinnell_(1))
5. Pages (forms) to create new pages/families (e.g., WRG:Start_a_new_page)
6. Visual representation of someone's immediate family tree (e.g., WikiTree's 'Tree' extension, Wikipedia_talk:Family_trees, rodovid's tree extension)
7. Advanced search (e.g., SharedTree's search page)
8. Consider adding a "Personal Stories" section to some pages for easy inputting of stories. The section would invite first-person narrative, which overtime could be integrated into the page's content as was done in Carl Gustav Lindstrom.

Things to Look Up at NYPL Next Time

1. Can you find Mary Sarah Burnett's relatives in census of Ohio Territory or NY or NJ around 1790-1810?
2. Trace Matilda Swan Peterson's relatives. Swan Peterson, and not Carl J. Peterson?
3. Trace August J. Vaughn's parents and relatives. What else can you find on John G Johnson?
