Goals
The Weekend Chat is designed to introduce G2G to the newer WikiTree members and to increase the use of the G2G forum by all members.
Strategies for Success
Be friendly and make people feel welcome at any time.
Post Early Friday Mornings
- "Weekend Chat" - All Members are Invited! Add current date/month/year (22 - 24 May 2015)
- This is an ongoing "Chat" post that can be added to throughout the weekend. All members of WikiTree are invited and encouraged to join in!
- Do you have any ideas to share?
- Any stories about famous or infamous ancestors?
- Have you found any close relatives through WikiTree?
- New people, say Hello and introduce yourself!
- What improvements can we make to help new members?
- G2G Pilots, Mentors, and Leaders... any fresh Tips for us?
- What's the weather been like in your neck-of-the-woods?
- Any subject you want to chat about...
- Post answers here, comment on answers, up-vote things you like or agree with, and have fun!
- To receive notice when future Chats are posted, add "Weekend_Chat" to the list of Tags you follow. You can edit your list by clicking on "My Feed" on G2G, then click to "add or edit". Separate words with an underscore.

Guide and procedure for hosting and posting the Weekend Chat
Provide Your Own Answer
Monitor, Comment and Respond
Make sure that everyone is being nice and treated nicely. Flag anything inappropriate or smooth everything out with words.
Best Answers
- After much discussion we have come to the conclusion that all answers in the Weekend Chat are of equal importance and weight. So we are going to discontinue the Best Answer portion as it adds points and then takes them away from posters and is causing some hurt feelings. So in the interest of everyone is equal and valued we will delete any best answers given which will deduct those points because it has been pointed out that to give everyone best answer is also not a viable option. *
Thank Yous
