Elissa<br>This has been suggested several times on the TG list but no one has jumped up and said I'm in charge.<br>I would also like to sign up for one like this. Given the size of the effort one could envision a group formed and then spend a month on each chapter in EE depending on how many examples you wanted to work with and how often you submitted your effort to your peer group.<br>

Interesting that Lisa referred to the TGF email list since it is Elizabeth<br>
Mills who does much of the answering on citations either there or here. She<br>
is very generous with her time, when she can.<br>
<br>
I took the original question to mean a study group outside of an email list<br>
and was waiting to see if anyone knew of one. This could be a "cause" that<br>
someone might choose to "champion" just as the _Pro Gen_ Study Group was<br>
formed as a response to a need.<br>
<br>
What would such a "think group" look like? Would it be people sitting around<br>
creating references for pre-selected sources? Would it be a place to bounce<br>
your own citations off others? Would it be study of the whys and wherefores<br>
of the citation models? Would it be like the couple of weeks that Dr. Tom<br>
Jones spends on citations in the Boston University Genealogical Research<br>
Certificate course? Just what would this animal look like? How would it be<br>
administered?<br>
<br>
More questions than answers,<br>
