I can appreciate all the fervor for a web-based app.  However, 

1) The church has said no websites.  You can't get away with making the
"this is scouting and that is the church" distinction, anymore.  

2) It is a legal problem to start posting information about minor children
to the Internet.  That would have to be decided at Church HQ and not by the
local units.  They don't even allow information to be posted into Family
Search about living people, they just insert a "LIVING" placeholder.  Being
involved with security professionally, I would not give my consent.  This is
a huge pitfall -- despite good intentions -- it would be wise not to fall
into it.

Web-based would be great, but with the church's policy on non-official 
websites, where does that put the local unit that would want to install 
and use such a web-based app?
