What's a "non-project"?

The Table is a product similar to my other project OneBody, and I haven't yet seen how far it goes toward helping ministers/leaders engage with members via existing social media (rather than just creating another private social network). I

I guess I'm talking more specifically about church management software. As for using off-the-shelf solutions, I would expect CRM software to maybe come the closest, but it really does seem like a niche that needs special software, if only f

David, you've nailed it. I guess the problem is that ChMSs are notoriously bad with interoperability in my experience and want to keep the data within their black box. A separate engagement tool would be fairly impotent if it was separate a

I started a new blog at http://church.io where I hope to eventually flesh out some of my ideas about church software. Thanks so much for your thoughts. I agree about pastors blogs as well -- I've seen the same phenomenon.

Thanks for the thoughts! My wife and I have volunteered in a local ~800/week church for close to ten years, managing the technology there. We've worked hard to introduce OSS in as many places as possible. Our network servers are mostly Linu

Agreed, it doesn't take a religious person to build software to spec, but I guess I'm looking for more than that -- someone who is entrepreneurial, a hacker, and has a similar heart for the Church. This isn't an appeal for a co-founder -- m

OK, I see how that prevents an attack (it seems to create an endless loop), but how does this parse as regular JSON for the good guys?

Good to know. Thanks for clarifying that.

Awesome! I was an early premium user and seeing NewsBlur improve almost daily has been a real treat. Keep up the good work.

Actually, I think it's (red - (green + blue)). Equal parts red, green, blue, e.g. FFFFFF or 555555 is just gray. With this formula, that would be zero -- so no red. With his formula, he's getting any pixel that has 100 out of 255 increments

I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I appreciate the list. I just meant to inform that, by definition, I don't believe e-e is a true content farm. For anyone adding these sites blindly, you may miss out on that obscure answer you've been loo

Experts-exchange is indeed an annoying site, but I'm not sure I'd classify it as a content farm. There is actually a lot of information there not found on other sites.

Good questions. Thanks!

Well, the idea was to synchronize member info with churches' existing membership database, so that everyone is already ON the network -- they just have to create a password. It really worked with our own church, but took some effort to prom

You're right: no Facebook integration yet. I've been so discouraged about the whole thing lately, thinking I need to shut it down and do something else. Though, it sounds like, you're saying I'd be better off making some significant changes

Yes, the product is open source, and there are a handful of churches using (or trying to use) the self-hosted option. I don't have good numbers on that, but I think you're right -- more churches are paying me to host than doing it themselve
