I'm 2 days into the 100-day project. It's harder than I thought. Sacrificing content for looks is one issue, along with keeping entries bite-sized. I think I'll get better as I go along (hope).
Also the various apps I'd hoped to use to patch together images and text are more cumbersome than I'd imagined they'd be. I've ended up rolling with a pages template. It's reasonably clean, but hogs space. Then, today, there were upload issues. Turns out they're a known bug, and being fixed, but it made the upload process frustrating.
I've also joined wiki tree - the international family tree project. I like its goals - to be truly free and collaborative, with a lovely honour code encompassing these shared undertakings. However, there has been quite a bit of grunt work learning about exporting a GEDCOM (internationally accepted file for a family tree database) and then cleaning it up to merge into the wiki tree itself.
Also, I get the feeling that wiki tree is largely a US undertaking - so probably not a huge number of collaborators out there for me. I suppose only time will tell.
Finally, I seem to have inadvertently dumped my Sarah Pratt journal transcript. God knows how/when. Am so irritated with myself about that. Oh well. Maybe I'll turn up another copy somewhere.
