It's been awhile since we've had activity in this group. I'd like to get it
going again. I started the group, and now I'm working for the Church.
Initially, I was thinking LDS Tech might be a good place to start sending
members of this group, but I'm thinking there might also be use for this
group in helping the Church in building the Kingdom through Open Source
principles.

I see this group as helping to create *new* projects and build things of
our own volition that could help the Church. LDS Tech, on the other hand,
will be a great resource for soliciting volunteer help for projects
initiated by the Church (and the Church owns LDS Tech - they don't own this
group). In many cases there are projects that I think could help the
Church, that the Church just doesn't have time to create and doesn't fit
its purposes. I see LDSOSS helping in this area.

Here's one idea I have, that we could really use, for instance. I'd really
love a "widget" that anyone could install anywhere on the web to be able to
read the Book of Mormon. I'm sure we could utilize the skills of this list
to build something pretty cool.

Is this a good direction to take this group? If so I'm going to revive this
group and get it going again. Please chime in with your ideas!

Thanks,

--Jesse
