So David does that mean you feel what is place on a usgenweb archives site belongs to the archives BUT what is place on a usgenweb county pages belongs to the person that is hosting the county. Did you consider Beckham Co. Archives your web space also or is this feeling only for the site you host for usgen/okgenweb? You say if you get mad and quit your county page you will not leave any records there for the county nor allowed them to be harvested by google, just wondering, when you resigned from your archives site did you leave the information you added on that site?? I think the archives is a great thing but no more important than the usgenweb county pages and deserves the same respect It's hard for me to understand how, when we ask for volunteers to HOST a county site they claim ownership of the site and own all information submitted to the site. When I see counties stripped of all info submitted after a CC resigns makes me wish we could protect the county pages the same way Linda protects the archives.

>It is my understanding that the submitter will be contacted if the material is to be REMOVED. Any submitted data belongs to the website (archive) and not the individual archivist. Dennis, better re-read proposal 14. "the data submitters contacted if possible for permission to repost the extant data on a new website, if contact or permission fails, the data shall not be transferred". That says to me that the submitter has to be contacted just to repost the material. -------------------- Ron Henson Choctaw Co.

Hi J. Myles, Welcome Aboard! Michelle Wiggins

OKGenWeb chat opens at 9pm (Oklahoma time) every Sat night. Bring your questions and we'll try to help. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/helplinks/chat/spinchat.htm In response to several emails from others having problems joining the chat, I created a simple SPINCHAT HOW-TO page with graphics. You will find the link at http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/helplinks/chat/chat.htm If you tried to join before without success, I hope you will try again. Some using Netscape Navigator are not able to access the page. I have 4.7 and have no problem accessing the site. Marti

I have a real problem with amendment #14. As it is now, when a cc leaves all material not supplied by that cc stays with the site. Under the proposed amendment, all contributors/submitters have to be contacted before their material can continue to be used. The problems I have are: (1) That's going to be a nightmare to implement, and (2) All a cc has to do is not indicate and/or remove the submitter's contact information and all the material will be forever lost as it can't transfer without being able to contact the submitter. Dennis, if you see this, what is the rationale for this proposed amendment? -------------------- Ron Henson Choctaw Co.

It is all there in the archives, except for the archived queries that some jerk deleted as soon as I left. Linda said we could archive queries on the html side of the archives and so I did. My heart and soul is in the Beckham county archives. My book that I spent a few years working on, traveling across the south, and published in 1975, is there, along with my uncle's diary that he was keeping until he was killed in action in World War II, along with several articles about him, including the Captain's log of the flight he was killed on. And my grandmother's autobiography that she finished while still living in Erick, before moving to the nursing home in Hobart, where she died in 1989. Everything that was sent to me for Beckham county, I put in the archives. It is all there. > I think the archives is a great thing but no more important than the > usgenweb county pages and deserves the same respect Then don't make "busy work" rules for the county web sites. Some of us keep pretty busy as it is. I just asked for and received permission to upload six years worth of death notices and obits from the San Angelo Texas newspaper. I keep busy without having to put put my name, e-mail address and last updated thing at the bottom of every page. That is why almost every thing on the county site is now plain text and in the search engine. And not in plain site. > It's hard for me to understand how, when we ask for volunteers to HOST a > county site they claim ownership of the site and own all information Rootsweb says we own the sites. Individuals own the county web sites, not the state project. Those are the Rootsweb rules. As long as we keep it to genealogy, we can keep it. > submitted to the site. It is all in the archives. I did not make a difference between the county site and the archives. I thought it was all the same project.

LOL The rules were that way from the very start. The archives has always been a top-down organization, and is run very well. The USGenWeb Project started with the emphasis on the county web site, with the CC as the most important person. (I think.

Dennis, how long were you an archivist? It is hard to figure out what you are talking about, and what specific incident you are talking about. I don't know of any archivist going off the deep end. People get mad and quit, but that is not the same thing as going crazy or going off the deep end. As for changing the password for the archives, I request a password change whenever it is necessary, for the TXGenWeb Archives. Since we only have one password for 254 counties, sometimes we have to ask for a password change more than we'd like. Most of the people that work in the archives are not going to delete everything when they leave. If that is what you are working on with the bylaws committee, to tell the USGenWeb Archives how to protect the files, you are just wasting your time. Find something more productive to argue about. We are going to ignore you, anyway. (I speak for myself) As for the county web site, I have my data in the archives, plus I have it in the the search engine on the county web side, plus I have Google blocked from archiving my site. Just in case I get mad and leave, nobody is going to harvest it, except for the queries, which were there before I was (1997) and the others which are on the GenConnect/Ancestry boards. I also got a password change for my Rootsweb site, so it would no longer have one of those easy to guess passwords. It is my web space, and I plan to keep it. I haven't done all this for my county web space in TXGenWeb. I am under no pressure there, and we let the SC in Texas know that we want NO NEW RULES loud and clear! LOL What is more, he listened to us! David On Sat, 11 May 2002, Dennis Muncrief wrote: > Things are a little different now that the internet has exploded on the > scene.

Ron, those are a set of proposed by laws ammendments from the State of Nevada. The official USGenWeb By Laws Revision Committee site is at http://www.rootsweb.com/~censlook/ByLaws/. Take a look there and see what is happening, and email any of the reps with comments you may have. You might also want to email Linda Lewis, who heads up the archives, directly at [email protected] I am sure that she can answer your question.

Linda is not in it by herself. I can only speak for myself, but I believe in the archives, the ground rules for it, the reasons for it. There are a lot of us that are committed to the USGenWeb Archives, and we will stick with it, no matter what happens with the USGenWeb Project. The search engines, especially Google, can find the data, with or without a link on the USGenWeb Project page. If the AB wants to delink the archives, that is the way it goes. Some people will cut off their nose to spite their face. Think about that while working on new rules/bylaws. David [email protected] David W.
