LDS.org transition kind of complete
I see that the folks in Salt Lake City transitioning to the new LDS.org have put the new site at lds.org. However, the link at the bottom of the page to classic.lds.org goes to a page that apparently doesn't exist...

The classic.lds.org link works just fine for me (in Chrome, Firefox, and IE). Perhaps you tried it a bit too early when DNS entries were still in transition.allen.blodgett wrote:I see that the folks in Salt Lake City transitioning to the new LDS.org have put the new site at lds.org.

(And I don't think the people doing this are in Salt Lake City -- it's much more likely that they are in Riverton. )

Ward Calendar in New Website
I can't find a good link to the old ward calendar on the new website. Members of our ward are going to get confused with the new calendar being much easier to find than the old one. I thought we were directed to continue using the old calendar for 2011. Is that no longer correct? If we can use the new one, I'll migrate everything over soon. If we are to use the old one, it would be helpful to have a prominent link on the new website.

It isn't quite front and center, but on the tools menu there is a link to Stake and Ward Websites which hosts the old calendar.DGMortensen wrote:I can't find a good link to the old ward calendar on the new website.

Note: I'm currently seeing an error with the tools menu not loading due to a server error.

On the Tools menu of the new lds.org site, there is a link to "Stake and Ward Websites". That's fairly prominent.DGMortensen wrote:I can't find a good link to the old ward calendar on the new website.

The recommendation on using the new calendar for 2011 keeps changing. Originally we were told to plan on using it for 2011, then we were strongly warned not to use it for 2011 except for private calendars, then we were encouraged to stay with the old one but using the new one would be okay. The current statement is:
"The new calendar is ready for use today, and some stakes are using it exclusively for their 2011 events. It will receive a new look (simplified & more intuitive) in February 2011, so most stakes are waiting to migrate then."
I find that new statement to be a bit humorous -- it's hard to believe that "most stakes" know anything about a new look coming in February 2011, so it's quite unlikely that they are basing any migration decisions on that particular piece of information.

A bit of programmer ego-centrism perhaps. :p I guarantee the leaders of the stakes where the calendar developers live know a thing or two about the new calendar.Alan_Brown wrote:I find that new statement to be a bit humorous -- it's hard to believe that "most stakes" know anything about a new look coming in February 2011, so it's quite unlikely that they are basing any migration decisions on that particular piece of information.

What a hoot! New look? Waiting to migrate? I wouldn't know anything about anything about this "new" calendar if I did not haunt this forum. And even having haunted, I have never seen any of the new calendars.Alan_Brown wrote:The current statement is:

For the record, no one has asked "this stake" what it plans to do.

Migration to new calendar
Thanks for pointing out the confusion. The release schedule has accelerated, so we've now revised the message.
Stakes are invited to migrate now.
