The politics of this situation make it very touchy, at best. Tim is correct in his assessment that the Census Project is NOT operating within the guidelines and can, therefore, be delinked. I still feel that we need to do something about the files that are already there. The most sensible action is to combine the two projects, and put the Census files back where they belong, in the USGenWeb Archives. This, as I have said on many occasions, JUST MAKES SENSE! The archives are OUR digital library and the proper place of storage for ALL records. The Projects themselves are irrelevant to this opinion. However, we do need to act and we to act quickly. This MUST be resolved.
