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. Investigate anti-spam measures
   1. Installed SpamBlacklist extension. Let's see if this helps...
   2. Also installed ConfirmEdit extension. Maybe THIS will help?
2. Wiki bug: File uploaded but page is empty...
3. 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.
