Ole Ed is probably out fishing this morning, and he won't even know that he's been reelected for another term! And what about congrats to VIVIAN, who will be our ASC again!? I'd like to hear their goals for GAGenWeb for this term -- and learn what we can do to help them achieve these goals. Sylvia/Pickens

Thanks, Sylvia, and to all of our most excellent CCs for your help and support and the jobs you do. And, thanks to Nola, Everette and Martha for their help with our election. (I will unsub you from the list now.) I do have a couple of goals for the coming two years. Of course, the most important goal of the project is producing vital, relevant, data-filled Web sites and doing everything we can to help researchers in their quests. In order to do that, we need to get and keep great CCs and provide them with a positive, supportive atmosphere in which to work. I would love to see all of our counties adopted. I know this is on Ed's agenda, too, and he has been working hard to recruit good volunteers. We are 90 percent adopted, which is remarkable. Another goal of mine is to provide researchers with some basic information on researching in Georgia. Of course, we can't provide a complete on-line genealogy course, but we certainly could provide some guidance that would answer those FAQs we all get every day. We address some of these issues on our county sites, but I believe providing *statewide* information linked to the main GAGenWeb page would benefit researchers and volunteers. I believe that, if researchers take advantage of this feature, they will be better prepared to take full advantage of our county sites. Every state does this, some better than others, and I certainly have not looked at every state site. Alabama, Arizona and Arkansas do a pretty good job. Take a look, and see what you think. We don't need to re-invent the wheel here. It is my experience that much of the information researchers are looking for is on the Internet; they just need help finding it. Thus, links to point them in the right direction would be sufficient, perhaps with a bit of narrative here and there to tie it all together. If we all pool our resources, I believe we can get this done without too much strain on any one person. To get the ball rolling, every CC could send me some statewide links they have found to be helpful. Don't forget to include links pertaining to ethnic research in Georgia, as well as other specific topics like wars and time periods. Please send these to me privately, so we don't clog up the mailing list. I'll get them organized into categories, and perhaps our Techno-Geniuses can get some pages built. What do you think?
