Ward Mission Wordpress Plugin

[jeffvand]

Hey All,

So I am the ward mission leader in my ward. As anyone who has served in any leadership position knows, one of the hardest things to do is keep track of everyone. Well, I wanted to make it a bit easier and harness the power of technology to do that a little better so I developed a Wordpress plugin.

DISCLAIMER: I am aware of the work the church is doing on this front. I did do research into other similar projects, alas those projects are either dead, or on the back burner (Digital Area Book), and I know I can do my job so much better if I can track and share it now. I want to be able to easily share what I and the missionaries are learning with the rest of the ward leadership. My real hope is that this project can help get some ideas out there as to what is possible so when the Digital Area Book project get’s revived we might have some thoughts and experiences to contribute.

I posted the first version of the plugin today with a little intro video at http://mormontechie.com/2010/09/16/ward-mission-wordpress-plugin/

I would love your feedback.
