Hi folks,
The idea struck me today that it would be nice to be able to sit down
on a weekly basis and write up a short history of what happened in our
family, easliy including photos and such (essentially a blog post),
and then be able to share that with family and friends in a secure
manner
Hi folks,
Just curious as to whether any one knows of a way to listen to the
music of General Conference without having to download the MP3 for the
entire session. I can do that, or listen to it via the conference
DVDs, but it would be nice if high-quality MP3s of the conference
music were

The other issue is what value would a centralized database really offer?
For day-to-day usage, it would offer zero value. If a scout moved wards, it
would allow his records to be transferred. However, much of that is
maintained by BSA, anyway. If

I don't think this would be too much of an issue.
No, I don't think it's so much a Provo term as it is an LDS theme. Our
work in the church can be considered part of building the Kingdom of God

1) Should the Church host/sponsor OSS projects for Church related initiatives?
Something like forge.lds.org.
