Tommy, this is great. Thank you. Very helpful!

One suggestion: consider other color usage. Or using bold instead of colors. I find these the red and blue difficult to read.

Answer 1

Just one point, your dates are confusing. Wikitree uses day/month you are using month/day, I find it hard to keep changing my thinking within the one site.

Comments

I changed the numeric month to the three letter month abbreviation.  Thanks for pointing out the confusion.

---

Thanks Tommy, much appreciated.

Answer 2

Great idea

Answer 3

Very cool - would you mind if I add a section for when the Connectors recognizes new pilots and astronauts?

Comments

Place it between Projects and Chrome Extensions

---

Will do.

---

On second thought, I went ahead and placed it under the News section as a subsection.  I added the last three entries.

---

Nice idea, SJ.

Answer 4

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Calendar

seems to cover a lot of the same ground?

Comments

I've never looked at the Calendar, but THIS, if it shows up in G2G each week I WILL look at it

Answer 5

Thank you, that will come in handy. I just saved it to my G2G bookmark. 

Answer 6

WOW! Just WOW!

Awesome Roundup!!

Thanks so much!

Answer 7

Nice G2G overview; I like it.

Answer 8

Useful  - thank you

Answer 9

Amazing, Tommy!

I really hope that this goes on to great things!
