To all Beta Testers

I just wanted to make a more visible announcement that the beta version of the upcoming upgrade of the calendar is available for testing.

Everyone who has requested access to the beta has been granted it.* However, we've only received feedback from a select few testers (although that feedback has been VERY valuable so far).

If you have an interest in the calendar and have stake or ward admin rights (or easy access to someone who does have rights) please participate and give us feedback. We want the calendar to be useful and functional, and due to our limited resources, we need as much of your help as we can get.

Thanks again for helping us make successful tools for you to use.


*Some who may have requested access in the last few days may not have it yet. I try to give access to new requests at least once a week.

I have signed up but am having trouble getting access, any Ideas

Without those who are stake default approvers participating there is little that can be tested by those at the unit level.

Is it to late to sign up for this? I was just recently called as Ward Clerk and would love to help with this project. I do have full admin rights on the Ward level.

I am the Stake Clerk (Default approver). I would like to help. And I will give feedback. Where would you like the feedback to be sent?

There is a forum just for this - Current and Future Church Technologies > LDS.ORG Web Site > Calendar Beta Test.

You won't be able to see the forum jdlessley linked to until you are added to the beta test. To request that, go to the thread Preparing for the Calendar 2.0 Release and ask to be included. It may take a day or two for you to be added.

I requested this about a week ago and am still unable to see the beta calendar. Any reason why this would be the case? I am 1st Counselor in Bishopric.

They are in the middle of a beta database upgrade right now. I can't speak officially, but perhaps a decision was made to wait until after the upgrade.

You may wish to followup after things come back online.
