Drawing from an existing Meta Q&A on https://genealogy.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1853/improving-the-weekly-chat, this week's chat will be to discuss ideas for doing just that! > For those who aren't aware, we currently hold a chat in a [dedicated > chat room][1] every Saturday about [a different genealogical topic > each time][2]. It's really great to hop in every week when I can and > discuss these topics with fellow genealogists and Stack Exchangians. > > After a lot of chats, some things have been plain awesome and others > stand out as needing improvement. > > - Saturdays aren't always for everyone to make. I know at least, for myself, I have to work Saturdays a lot, so I can't join as often as > I'd like. Others have mentioned similar problems. Should we expand the > chat to week long (with a new topic every Saturday)? > > - Another aspect up for discussion is where we should hold the chat? There is not much chat happening in our main room, [Roots][3]. Perhaps > we are diluting interest by having two separate rooms. Should we merge > the two and hold our chats in the main room or keep there own room? > > What else can we do to improve this chat and make it as accessible and > useful as possible?
