Secondly, I'm going to try to preface my subject lines with [Census-Discuss] and ask that you do the same so that those of us who use filters won't lose any notes from the others in this discussion. > > Ok, a synopsis, if I can on what's been said, hopefully brief! In reading the notes from each of you, I'm going to put down the subjects you've each broached, and some that have occured to me in reading your notes. To keep some semblance of order let's try to discuss these subjects one by one and see where you agree/disagree. These are in no particular order but I am trying to put them in some form of natural progression. > >1. Directory control - ie password protected for census FMs >2. Directory structure - hiearchy of the data >3. Duplicate Personel - two folks doing the same census or state FMs >4. TOCs - possibly one for Scanned Images and one for text? >5. Restatement of the Goal of the Census Project >6. Recruitment of Volunteers - should we possibly encourage volunteers to first transcribe the scanned images versus microfilm? Scanned images could be done at one's home versus going elsewhere to read microfilm. >7. Handling of partial or surname transcriptions of census records >8. Housing of the Census Project >9. Definition of the Digital Library as mentioned in the Bylaws > >These are the 'issues' as I understand them to be either from your notes thus far and/or my own questions. > >Tim > >Methods of Combination >Ultimate Goal - one Census Project! > >
