Additional Helps
Finding a project to work on[edit | edit source]
- There are a wide variety of projects to get involved in. Find one you enjoy or feel confident doing. Feel free to switch to a different project whenever you need a change.
Project Lists[edit | edit source]
- Project lists show several project charts, which then show many projects you can choose from.
Here is a sample of a project chart:
Project | Section | Skill Level | Status |
---|---|---|---|
Checking for Broken Links | Online Record Pages | Beginner | completed |
U.S. County Pages | Beginner | active |
- Notice that a skill level is shown.
- Practice: Click on one of these links to locate a project in the lists. Find an "active" project.
The task list[edit | edit source]
- From the project chart, you can click on the link to the project to see detailed instructions.
- Within the instructions, you will find a link to a Task List like this shortened sample:
Locality | Link to Main Locality Page | Spreadsheet | Your Name | Date Completed |
---|---|---|---|---|
Alabama | State Page | Spreadsheet | Peterson |
|
Alaska | State Page | Spreadsheet | Bartlett |
23 Dec 2014 |
Arizona | State Page | Spreadsheet | Seirup |
13 Jan 2015 |
Practice: Click on the link "U.S. County Pages" in the above project chart. Find the link for the "Task List", and click on it for practice to see a full length task list. Stay calm!
Signing up for a task[edit | edit source]
- To sign up for a task, open the chart by clicking the section edit icon.
- In the appropriate field, you can sign your name by typing three "tilde" marks (~) or just type your name. Save the chart by scrolling to the bottom of the edit box to click "Save".
- All the other links you need are in the Task List page. One link leads to the page you will work on. There is a Task List page for each project.
- In some projects, there is an additional link such as "Spreadsheet," which leads to a spreadsheet where you will record the changes you have made. Not all projects have spreadsheets.
- When you have finished the task, return to edit the task list page to add the completion date.
- Click on the links in the sample task list page to see how they work.
- Practice: Click on the links in the sample task list to see how they work. Click on "Spreadsheet" and see a typical spreadsheet.
