Angela Wentz Faulconer:

This is the feedback page. The admin ([[User:Matthewfaulconer]]) watches this page. This a great place to log global problems. Don't log problems here that you could fix on your own by editing or adding a page. If you can fix it, please do.

Prioritized list of enhancements desired
# Determine the copyright license to be used for things posted to this site.
# Write a how-to article on changing the scripture article sections (e.g. changing from 1 Ne 1:1-5 and 1 Ne 1:1-10 to 1 Ne 1:1-6 and 1 Ne 1:7-10) to allow users to keep verses in the same article when it makes better sense to comment on them together.
# Move the edit link above each section down a bit?--change skin?
# Change all articles so that Exegesis comes after Lexical notes.

Prioritized bugs (most severe first)
# Bug 1
# Bug 2

Suggestion: I think "Feast Upon the Word" would be a great name for the site.

==Completed items==
# Add default text for all articles
# Add verse redirects to articles
# Create a table of contents so people don't have to search to find a scripture
# Add table of contents to left nav
# Add a sandbox link to the edit page
# Add text to new user page to encourage people to login using their real name
# Show pane with scripture in it from scriptures.lds.org site

Angela Wentz Faulconer:

On this site you can read and provide commentary on [http://mormon.org Mormon] scripture, or in other words, the Standard Works for [http://lds.org The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]. The Standard Works for the Church include: [[The Old Testament]], [[The New Testament]], [[The Book of Mormon]], [[Doctrine & Covenants|The Doctrine & Covenants]] and [[The Pearl of Great Price]].

Content in four categories:

# Thought questions: Questions for further study
# Exegesis: Explanation and analysis of the scriptural text in question
# Lexical notes: Notes about the meaning or origin of words
# External links: Links to information outside this site connected to this scripture

Help is needed to create this free resource. We are just getting started so it is an exciting time to contribute your ideas. There are [[how to help|lots of ways]] to help, but the most important is to create and improve the content of this site. It's easy for anyone to do this--keep reading.
