[Ldsoss] Citizendium, a Wikipedia alternative
On NPR I heard about one attempt to address the apparent shortcomings of Wikipedia. Founded by Larry Sanger (one of the originals at Wikipedia), the beta wiki is called Citizendium: http://en.citizendium.org They believe that the quality of information will be improved by eliminating anonymity (though allowing pseudonymity), and encouraging gentle editing by contributors with verifiable credentials. I'm not certain that Wikipedia is using a failed model, but I'm curious how Citizendium will compare over time. Their LDS section is still really bare, providing a big opportunity for anyone who wants to contribute. Too bad I need to work tonight.

Re: [Ldsoss] Scout Tracking
I sorry I'm late responding, but you really should check out: http://jaynorth.net/?view=scouttracker I've mentioned this project on the list before. He chose the same toolset and approach that you did, and my brother has been using it with his troop for over a year. It is an excellent start.

Did you ever get the table definitions done as SQL? Hello list, Between scout camp, yw camp and family reunions I done some but not as much as I wanted to the tracker. Below is what I currently have The question for the list is how to make the user interface secure. The tools I have selected are mysql, php5, pear, apache2, and linux as the base os. The application will run as a web server (server side code rather than javascript) and will require cookies. I have been reading about cross-side script attacks (xss). xss looks to be a serious problem since it uses man in the middle to steal cookies. Anyone have some ideas how to harden a web application so I can avoid design problems upfront. thanks oscar snip ___ Ldsoss mailing list Ldsoss@lists.ldsoss.org http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
Re: [Ldsoss] Stake/Ward Web Site Utilities
Check out Scout Tracker: http://www.jaynorth.net/?view=scouttracker I set up Scout Tracker for my brother to use with his troop, and he has been very happy with it. The author used to also distribute a web application to track Duty to God progress, but he felt like there wasn't much interest in it. Scout Tracker, on the other hand, is under active development.

The BSA is pretty strict with their copyrights and I would imagine they have their own software available to leaders for a price. As it happens, the BSA doesn't produce software like that. They have a data interchange specification that software developers can use to interact with the systems at the council offices, but from there, it's up to third party developers to produce unit management programs. There are a number of good ones available, albeit most if not all of them are Windows-only, which isn't the best way to make Mac and Linux users (am I the only one?) happy. ___ Ldsoss mailing list Ldsoss@lists.ldsoss.org http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
