re: RE: [Ldsoss] Re: HT and VT Tool
I don't think anyone suggested using the MRN, I think the suggestion was to use the membership ID which is not the same thing as the MRN. The membership ID is a unique identifier on that comes with the membership output CSV to identify each row on that table. Using and storing the membership ID poses no security or privacy risks.

re: RE: [Ldsoss] Scout Tracking
I would agree with both your concerns Steven, accept that, after reading the entire email trail from yesterday, this appears to be a project initiated by Church HQ and not some random person on the listserve. The church has said no unofficial websites - this to me would be an official website. GR Steven H. McCown [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I can appreciate all the fervor for a web-based app. However, 1) The church has said no websites. You can't get away with making the this is scouting and that is the church distinction, anymore. 2) It is a legal problem to start posting information about minor children to the Internet. That would have to be decided at Church HQ and not by the local units. They don't even allow information to be posted into Family Search about living people, they just insert a LIVING placeholder. Being involved with security professionally, I would not give my consent. This is a huge pitfall -- despite good intentions -- it would be wise not to fall into it.

re: RE: [Ldsoss] multiple e-mails in family group
If you read the fine print under that email address on the individual membership record, it does state that this email adress is for the household and changing it will update it for every member of the household. While I don't agree and think the system should handle more than one - they do tell you there is only one.

[Ldsoss] Ward History Application
My wife was asking me if there was a way to pull MLS data and use it to create a running Ward History - who had what calling when, who got baptised into the ward, missionaries serving in/from, etc. It got me thinking that I should ask this group if anyone has developed or come up with a good way to document Ward History - anyone?
