You’ve heard the arguments “for.” Here’s a thoughtful one “against.”

Opinions?

If you’re interested, go to this wiki and translate to your heart’s content.

We have listed Spanish, Portugese, Italian, French, German, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and Japanese, but if you know other languages, then feel free to add them to the wiki.

Thanks for your help!

We’re off and running!

We have another project where we’re working on some apps for the Blackberry. If you have experience in developing Blackberry apps and some time this next month, please contact edwardsj at ldschurch.org.

We’d love your help! Great stuff happening the next couple of months! Stay tuned!

I referred to this as LDS Open source and took a  little flak.

Since then we’ve had a healthy uptick in the people helping us get work done.

We have 50 active community developers and that grows a little each month.

We have an immediate, high priority need. We’re looking for people with PHP experience to help us with a prototype Young Single Adult (YSA) web site. If you have that experience and have some time over the next month, we need you.

Please email edwardsj at ldschurch.org.

I’m scratching my head on this one. Josh James (Omniture CEO) is surely a sharp guy and will become a VP at Adobe. And Omniture has some great engineering resource here in Utah so that’s a great pickup.

Why Adobe needs to make a play in the web analytics market, especially with Google offering free services, I don’t know.

Literally. He’s a big fan of rails.

What do YOU think?

If you’ve done extensive programming in both languages, tell us if you feel the same way. How much more productive are you in one versus the other?
