First there was The Handy Book, and then the Redbook by Ancestry,
then LDS put out the Research Outlines, then the GenWeb -- all with
the same bare-bones grassroots info. Then LDS put the Research
Outlines on-line as d/l. IMO, that wheel doesn't /need/ further
refinement.

It points to local sources of info. The GenWeb points to local
sources. [EVEN if the LDSwikithingie points to film in the FHLC,
the SOURCE remains a local record.]

No. I do seem to recall hearing though that two wrongs don't make a
right. Nor was that part of what *I* said; I quoted it by sloppily
not snipping.

Again, not /my/ remark. However, the GenWeb not being a wiki and
therefore only the county coordinator can post updates or
corrections, it would seem to be a lot less spam-able than any wiki
or similar reader-editable site.
