IS ZONING STILL AROUND?

While on my start page in Web Indexing, I saw the Zoning Group and thought I'd delete it since it's over (I thought). But then I noticed this:

I checked the WE LOVE ZONING group and nothing has been posted since 2020. Could somebody please explain this? Thank you!

    Thank you for your question... I miss it too! do believe the zoning projects are finished. However, FS is always getting new contracts for all kinds of different projects so never say never!

    The Zoning Group was set up to have a means of communicating with everyone who was doing zoning. Zoning ended two or three years ago, at least. Zoning was a way for humans to train computers to find the correct information in newspapers.

    That chart is showing the indexing and reviewing numbers for the current year (2022) for all the 2927 members who are in the group. I deleted that group earlier this year while doing some housekeeping.

    It just looks like the numbers for indexing and reviewing dropped off when the census came out and also the number of available projects slimmed down.

    Thank you everyone! I'll go ahead and delete that group from my Web Indexing. Aloha!
