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.
