Ittel.org Website Guiding Principles
We would like this site to be as inclusive as possible.
The size of the site is limited and more MB costs more $, €, ₣, £, etc.
Any material that is contained on another web site should be included through links rather than copies. Single picture might be an exception.
We would prefer that contributions to the site are provided in English.
We realize that the primary languages of the original Ittels were French and German.
Side-by-side translations are the best form, though I will usually be too lazy to provide them.
I can slowly/poorly translate to and from German.
My wife could do French a bit faster but will not have the time.
Machine translations are not much better than no translation unless one is using very basic grammar.
Pictures are encouraged.
Pictures take up space, MB and ultimately money (remember the first item.).
Choose wisely. Crop wisely. JPG works best for my software.
Pictures showing interpersonal relationships are encouraged.
In the genealogy section, contributions will be primarily based upon “descendents of” rather than “ancestors of,” because this will provide more focus on Ittels.
While we would like to receive dates of birth and death for our master file, we will never that information for living individuals.
We are glad to make any and all connections.
My family gets a little more attention because that is the prerogative of the webmaster.
While we will link to commercial web sites, there should be no commercial content on this site.
Links to this site are encouraged and appreciated.
If anyone finds some portion of the site objectionable, the offending section will be removed.
Genealogy might be an exception, but corrections are welcomed.
We will make every effort to omit information that could be used for identity theft or other unsavory actions.
The content on this site and other linked sites should be suitable for a general audience.
This is a labor of love.
I still have a real job.
I have limited time to work on this site, but I will do my best to keep this up-to-date and interesting.
I get to make all final decisions about the site, but I am reasonable.
