As the term record is somewhat ambiguous, I'm not certain if this means 900 record batches, 900 names or something else."<BR/><BR/>That's 3,600 names a year. If it takes one minute each (very optimistic), that represents 60 hours of work. 10% off a $155 subscription is $15.50. That works out to 25 cents an hour. Less than they pay in India.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-47329285299969759332008-09-05T10:06:00.000-06:002008-09-05T10:06:00.000-06:00Dear Mike,I'm glad to see I didn't drive you away....Dear Mike,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad to see I didn't drive you away.

The indexer still has to pay to see an image of the actual document. So what is the incentive? They get to vote on what projects to work on next?? Perhaps 'feel good' that they are helping make the images available to libraries that pay for subscriptions? Doesn't sound like a good deal to me!Janiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17042691235745585477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-42673201618190124452008-09-05T08:13:00.000-06:002008-09-05T08:13:00.000-06:00Insider,The question remains why one would choose ...Insider,<BR/><BR/>The question remains why one would choose to index for Ancestry instead of Family Search. Do you have a good answer to that question?<BR/><BR/>I guess if saving fifteen bucks per year is important that could be one, but not really likely one that appeals to most indexers. And as far as free access without a subscription goes, that would be only to the images being indexed currently and so again does not seem much of an incentive.<BR/><BR/>What say you to this question mighty insider?<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
