I think you're misunderstanding me. I dont mean to imply that a hard
deadline should be announced.

I guess maybe what I should call it is a "flexible deadline" with updates
when there are problems and explanations of what the delays are caused by.
Simple explanations, not complex ones.

===The general deadlines have been given, but maybe you didn't hear about
those. Generally, we have heard that the Wasatch Front will have NFS by the
end of 2009, assuming that the schedule doesn't slip again. If that helps,
use that estimate. However, you need to be aware that the schedule could
easily slip again. Like I said, this area is going to challenge the system
more than it has been challenged yet.

I've had LOTS of people who havent started their family history tell me just
that. They hear that something better is coming and will make things easier,
and they say "Let me know when that arrives. I'll start then."

===This is where we need to teach our hearts out! The tools will never be
the "answer." Our ancestors have waited long enough, and the millennium
isn't going to come until we do our part. We need to use the tools we have
today, then learn the next ones that come out, and keep moving. If anyone
thinks that NFS is the final tool, they are sadly mistaken. We already know
that Family Tree is coming next, and there is far more in the "vision" area
than what has been put into programming. Our members need to learn how to
learn about the tools, so that nothing stops them along the way. We must be
determined and diligent.

Not to sound crude ... but it's kind of like the world being told the Second
Coming is going to happen, but of course we don't know when, not even the
angels in heaven know. You know how much attention is paid to getting ready
for that day.

===And I would NOT recommend putting off that preparation either! Anyone
heard of the five virgins who ran out of oil???? :-)
