			<description><![CDATA[I'm sorry to disagree with what so many see as an advancement in the technology - I just can't get the Maps program to work and I really don't want to have to sign in just to see where different wards are. No matter what address I put in I get that it cannot be found. I also have to only use a certain browser or the map doesn't load at all. I never had this problem with the Classic Ward and Stake websites.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree with Dave Lipps & SJ Wainright that "improving" the ward & stake directories has eliminated some of the functions that were useful to us low-tech people & made it harder to use. It would be nice if before "improving" things you might get input from the users as to what they find to be useful & not make choices for us based on your high-tech experience. Please put a "feedback" button on the new site so we can ask for help when we find something difficult to use. Have pity on us low-tech folks.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is kind of sad and scary. I don't want to go to the ward sites. I just want to keep up with generic church info for leaders of auxilliaries. Used to be able to click on serving in the church. I guess now I need to log in with perhaps my member # just to get this basic info. It is nice to try to make things better but techy people think better is more big and complex leaving out many seniors and those without extensixe computer knowledge. Makes me want to cry. I have so much enjoyed the amazing info from the site in the past. This page was my answer to my question but still didn't tell me how to get to the info I need.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have been a ward web sites administrator since day one. I have never got any training or help. It has always been up to me to find answers however I could. Is the new tools going to be any different?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The support for iOS is lagging in a lot of areas but this is a huge one. One of our former stake technology specialists and a good friend of ours is an iOS developer at Apple now and my husband and I are what I like to call emerging iOS developers and would gladly help but every time I have made offers to help I am either ignored or I have to deal with someone that is less capable than me and totally arrogant. Discouraging!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tom there are many of us that would be more involved but there is a real feeling that if you are east of the Mississippi and south of the Mason DIxon that you are not as important as everyone else. Being on the east coast is hard enough but being in the southeast is a nightmare. Why can't any of the tech stuff have groups here. We can spell computer and some of us are even iOS developers. The needs of the saints here are different than in the west where you can have 3 wards in a single subdivision. The webcast software streams in a format not compatible with iOS. Linux is poorly supported by the church and in our stake alone we have multiple Linux experts. The last person that I saw working for the church that was a Linux Guru out there was arrogant and in reality not that good since the page he contributed to loaded poorly in any browser other than IE. The other problem I see is the division of and therefore duplication of work between Roots Tech and LDS Tech.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Tom we need the physical ad[censored] of the units listed without going into the individual map location for each ward. As an assistant to our stake technology specialist the need is there so that we can direct service technicians to the various units. This would address the need for an easy reference for less active members and investigators. In the directory, under the stake information, a simple listing of all the units with their street ad[censored] and meeting times that links to their map page would make all the information we need easily available. Supporting 12 units that span across the entire stern portion of one state into the northern portion of a second state we have to get local techs to our units. Getting the ad[censored] for the units used to be easy. Now it is a pain. If an ice storm takes out 3 units right before stake conference broadcast we have to get them back up using local techs. We are not expected to travel in bad weather.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[All of you are assuming a building reservation is required for an event to be happening. If the scouts are going on an overnight camp out they are not using a building. If a stake YM President wanted to hold a training session for local leaders he would not see that event if he was not in the same ward as the unit going on the camp out. Please allow me to express a real problem here that is making it hard for us to get the leaders to use the technology because it still requires them to get Unit leaders to send them their calendars manually after putting it into the unit calendar. This makes more work for the unit leaders an leads to them not using the calendar or as we learned the hard way, asking to be released, because the "paperwork" was too time consuming and interfered with their time with their own family. Technology is supposed to help us do our callings better not add to our problems. I am good with technology and I am frustrated with the fractured system in place.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If the classic site is going to be retired, is the lds map site going to be redone so that it works on an iphone? We had a power outage in the area and our chapel was without power so everone had to go to other wards and since people did not have power they had to use the internet on their phones to look up other wards meeting times. It is nearly impossible to look up information on other wards using the new lds maps "tool". We used the classic site to see the meeting times for wards in our stake.]]></description>
