OK, so I'm a bit confused with your idea. How do you propose a method of "creating alternative markings", without actually making the MLS record "adjusted or coded" (as stated in the document)? The memo/tip/policy/whatever does not say we are not allowed to mark records. It says...

The issue of the tip is not to prevent priesthood leaders from identifying those individuals that want their needs from being addressed with sensitivity and care. The tip is not addressing or readressing the permissability of DO NOT CONTACT lists. It is stating the procedures that are acceptable in...

I also have some concerns about this message. I'm a little bit concerned about the fact that the message cites no authority. (There's a reason why many communications come from the first presidency.) This thread speaks of the message as a "tip", but this does not seem accurate, as it is no...

Nevermind. User error, apparently. There was a dependent package (kind of). It's required for certain functions, which apparently I don't use in my development. Apparently FamilySearch Indexing does use said functions.

I have found that FamilySearch Indexing fails to function when Java Advanced Imaging ImageIO Tools 1.1 is installed.

Distributed computing and especially human computing are pretty hot right now and Family Search Indexing is the most substantial example of this that I'm aware of.

The bottom line is while the current system is a hassle for members who move, it is true to the KISS principle. Whatever it is, its not KISS. KISS isn't about simply making fewer features, its about not adding features that make a system more of a pain to deal with. It's about one aspect of that ba...

I like ideas.

One thing I do wish the church would add is the syncronization of tithing reports of your account accross the church. That would make it so at tithing settlement you do not have to worry about getting a statement from every ward you were in, but it would all be at your current ward. (In addition it...

The license is pretty short. It doesn't seem to directly prohibit redistribution (at least, if it's not commercial in nature). Then again, it doesn't expressly grant permission either. I'm not sure what the prevailing legal doctrine is in such cases. Personally, I redistribute PAF a lot. I suppose I...
