Here's a demo of a tool I'm mentioned before on this list:

The highlights, in my opinion, are the simplicity that other similar
efforts have not been able to produce and the monthly summary report
accessible by Admins. Generate your own

Makes me chuckle. My pops was a COB employee for 30+ years and struggled
to stay away from that place. His kids predicted it would shorten his
lifespan by the same number of years, but gladly he's still ticking
strong.
Sorry, I'm out of state and won't be able to join.
As previously mentioned, the two biggest factors in my ward that cause
ward leaders to dismiss the usefulness of the ward website are 1) Lack of
support in MLS and the Ward Websites for *personal* phone numbers (cell,
work, etc..) and 2) Lack of user-friendly email lists.
Regarding Email
Hi All-
I apologize in advance if this is beating a dead horse for some of you.
This list is just one avenue I'm hoping the message can reach someone of
influence at HQ. Thanks for any fixes/enhancements you can make.
Below is a forward from my last ward's ward webmaster and while not

Yes, I was referring to the wiki on ldsoss.org. Add your suggestions
here: http://ldsoss.org/index.php/Suggestions_for_Ward_Websites
My worry is that the list of suggestions is getting so long that the most
critical ones get diluted. In my experience, the most critical needs are

The great achilles heel of using the church's system for emailing
is that only
the individual can edit his or her own email address.
Couldn't agree more. The problem lies in the fact that email
addresses and preferred names are not sync'ed with MLS like phone
numbers and addresses are.
On the wiki, under Suggestions for Ward Web Sites I recently added a
Home and Visiting Teaching heading with a link to the sample HT/VT
Reporting site offered earlier in this thread and the sample Elders
Quorum Organizer that Bryan Murdock offered. I included the
positive and negative
The site looks very nice. I couldn't get the reports to work but I was
able to see how to enter in the visit information.

Hi Bill-
Looking back at the list archive, Stacey posted some Perl on Jan 27, 2006
under the thread titled Stake/Ward Web Site Utilities that uploads
calendar events from Outlook (via csv). Maybe that can help. I wouldn't
know of any official Church effort.
Also, not sure if this is an issue

And I believe that it's too burdensome to the Church for its
members to expect Church Headquarters to initiate and run every good
idea. We need to be willing to do good works on our own, which from
what I've read is what this group is all about.
I wonder, would the Church ever open up the
Regarding the ward directory, Im hopeful this calendar export will
prove useful enough to convince those who own the decision to allow the
same for the ward list.
Hopeful as well... Then I can get rid of another screen scraper and the
support that goes along with it. I assume the concern
I've got the same underlying question. How does the Church feel about us
passing these screen scraping tools around? That calendar importer
sounds very useful. Members of our ward have also written several
utilities to help us get more out of the Stake and Ward websites and MLS.

Hi All-
Is there a good place to send these? Our unit has been sending them to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (with the blessing of our Stake Admin). Honestly,
it feels like a black hole. Is there a better course of action? Does HQ
