Some basic questions to be answered
1. Who should be on this Team. What type of person, Interests etc
2. What does this Team do? Why do we have it?
3. What are the proposed sub-groups and what do they do?
4. What other Projects or Teams does it interact with. Where and why? Responsibilities of each Project.
- Categorization - The Irish Roots Project should work with and along the same structure parameters as categorization and not create a separate hierarchy of categories. People working on Irish categories should also be VERY familiar with townlands in Ireland and how they fit into other units of land or administration.
- Global Cemeteries - Every profile in Irish Roots will end up eventually in a cemetery in either Ireland or elsewhere. There must be a close co-operation with the Global Cemeteries teams.
- Any Project that will require a connection to the Irish Roots category structure. For example: Canada, the United States, and Early Scandinavia
- Military and War Project - They created many of the Battles in Ireland Categories see Time Line Irish History - Devlin-670
5. What is the plan and goal? Short term - long term. When should it be implemented?
6. What's the priority of Forming this Team? 1-5 1 Must be done first. - 5 Can be done at a later time.
