Exciting New Tools and Projects

If you're new here, read more about the More Good Foundation. We help members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the Mormon church) share their beliefs on the Internet. Learn more about what Mormons believe or talk with Mormons at LDS.net.

In the last few weeks we have made some exciting changes to our website at www.MoreGoodFoundation.org. We hope that it will help better explain the purposes of the Foundation to those who first visit the site. When you invite friends to join our efforts, it will be easier for them to understand our purposes and the way to make a difference. We are open to your suggestions about how to make our site even better. We are not done yet; it’s an ongoing process. Once in a while go back and take a look at the changes and let us know what you think.

One of the changes is on MormonWiki.com. There we have started new pages in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, and French. What we need now is help to translate instructions and administrative pages from English to these other languages.

We are very grateful to Fernando, who lives in Londrina, Brazil, who was the first to start this process of translation into Portuguese. Any Foundation members who know one of those languages can help in translating pages (or adding new content) by simply logging in at www.MormonWiki.com and starting to make changes.

We really need more help to translate and write more pages of the Mormonwiki.com in all languages because this will help us to gather material that can be used to create many pro-LDS websites.

This is a call to action: We need contributors to write or edit at the site. Your writing doesn’t need to be perfect, and you don’t have to spend hours and hours. Just write a short article, simple but full of “mormon keywords” on one of the topics we need (see the list of such topics, accessible through the wiki home page by clicking on “Articles that need to be written”.)

We are sad when we continue to see bad content all over the Internet. We have the duty to help those “who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it” (D&C 123:12).

The Internet can be a powerful tool for helping many people to find the truth, but only if they can *find* the truth. Right now the Internet is being used mostly to keep people from finding the truth. We need to change that.

We have several new projects moving forward, but we need special help with our temple projects. Please take a look, for example, at:

http://www.sandiegomormontemple.org/

We need similar or better content for each of the temples. We have a real need for temple pictures. If you are willing to share your pictures of temples so that they can be used in such sites, let us know right away. If you would like to provide personal experiences or other articles about any of the temples, we need that too. These can be about any temples, since we need sites for all of them.
