DISCUSSION: Basic Requirements for becoming a WIGenWeb Project County Coordinator. Below I have listed an outline of the very basic requirements to become a WIGenWeb County Coordinator. This is in no way complete and I provide it for discussion and brainstorming purposes only. I will admit that in compiling these I visited many USGenWeb Project State pages, so the ideas aren't all original, but seem to work well in the states I visited. I would like to use these discussions as we go along to not only update our WIGenWeb Project Guidelines pages (by majority vote of WIGenWeb Project volunteers), but to also compile a listing of useful resources to incorporate into a "Volunteers Helping Volunteers" website. Future discussion topics will deal with the "nitty gritty" of the role of State Coordinator, Assistant State Coordinator, County Coordinator, Assistant County Coordinator etc. Please take time to read the outline, and to share thoughts, ideas, comments and resources you may have to expand and improve. Thanks! Tina _____ To be a successful WIGenWeb Project County Coordinator, you will need: A knowledge of, or willingness to learn about the county/area you will be coordinating. A desire and willingness to assist researchers who visit your county website. A basic knowledge or ability to learn HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) page coding and design. A basic knowledge or ability to learn how to FTP (File Transfer Protocol) pages to the server of your choice. Access to reliable server space. There are many "free" servers available. County Coordinators may host their pages on the server of their choice. Time, energy and enthusiasm to devote to your county page.
