We are working with the different organizations within the Church to determine
what data we can provide to people and on what conditions. I have nothing to
report yet as it is a very complicated process. However, I would encourage you
to write a prototype and send it in and I'll take it to the correct department
and show it.

I would like to see one better. I would love to have a client-side
app that works similar to this, uses Google maps or such to generate
the map, and then plots more than just membership data on the map. As
Ward Mission Leader, I'd like to see names of non-members and have the
ability, on my own computer (not stored remotely anywhere), write
notes about each name, creating a mapped area book of sorts. Ability
to store pictures of individuals (for members, perhaps downloaded from
the ward website), notes about visits and individual circumstances to
pass on to missionaries and other ward leaders, ability to color code
perceived inactives vs. actives vs. non-members. Then I'd like to
take these mapped reports and print them out in various forms.
Right now I am manually doing this with a plot map of our ward
boundaries. I will probably use photoshop to color-code things. It
would be really nice to have all this database-backed and organizable
in many different ways. Does anyone know where Zillow gets their plot
maps from? I'd love to have access to an API that can pull down not
just street and satellite images, but actual plot maps of where each
house in a Ward boundaries is. If I had access to something like
that, it might just be worth it to me and my calling to write a
client-side app that does something like what I mention. I guess I
would also need an API to the stake and ward websites as well. Tom
(Welch) - any word on if the church might allow access to this info in
the future for certain registered software developers? I'd be happy
to sign an NDA or release if necessary in order to write an app that
does this, and donate it to the Church. This would give me huge power
as Ward Mission Leader.
