(A little bit earlier than normal, comments are most welcome on this change to my reminder process) My regular reminder to Syndicate Co-ordinators about the ongoing process to delete from the FreeBMD database those volunteers who haven't uploaded any records even though they have been registered on FreeBMD for 12 months or so. On 19 November 2004 or just after I propose to delete the following SubmitterIDs from the database, if you are aware of any that should not be deleted please let me know by 18 November 2004? SubmitterID Date Registered on FreeBMD * 210182728 06/10/03 # Bri 13/10/03 # stephb 27/10/03 # EarthAngel54 02/11/03 # skendall 03/11/03 # Beady 08/11/03 # mcapron 09/11/03 # Nightingale 12/11/03 # mjf 15/11/03 # Chippy 16/11/03 # griggar 16/11/03 # Julie 17/11/03 # Sueb 17/11/03 # bullrush 18/11/03 (Volunteers shown with * registered via Brian Smart ID and volunteers shown with # registered via Derek Hopkins ID) Co-ordinators are requested to check their "Syndicate Maintenance" for details of any volunteers deleted by me as explained in http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/delete_submitterID.html. The deleted volunteers are shown at the bottom of the "Current Submitters" window of the Maintain Syndicate page. This will give Co-ordinators opportunity to reallocate any transcription work given to the deleted volunteers. As this is a two way exercise, I would highly recommend to all Co-ordinators they check their "Upload Reports" via http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/upload-report.pl in conjunction with "Show file" at: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/show-file.pl to establish if long standing allocations to their volunteers have been transcribed and uploaded to FreeBMD. I have assumed this process to be part of the checking process adopted by all Co-ordinators. This check should identify volunteers who registered a while ago but have not uploaded any files. This will prevent me inadvertently deleting a volunteer in error. There are safeguards in the system to prevent me deleting a volunteer who has uploaded one or more records. Regards Allan Raymond
