Der løber en diskussion i øjeblikket på diskussionsgruppen omkring
PAFInsight-produktet, hvor en har fortalt følgende:
In the opening session of October 2005 General Conference, President
Gordon B. Hinckley said:
"One of the most troublesome aspects of our temple activity is that
as we get more and more temples scattered across the earth there is
duplication of effort in proxy work. People in various nations
simultaneously work on the same family lines and come up with the
same names. They do not know that those in other areas are doing the
same thing. We, therefore, have been engaged for some time in a very
difficult undertaking. To avoid such duplication, the solution lies in
complex computer technology. Preliminary indications are that it will
work, and if this is so, it will be a truly remarkable thing with
worldwide implications."

I know quite a bit about the things that the Church is
planning, but cannot talk about most of them due to
NDAs. However, I can say that an article was in one of
the newspapers in Salt Lake City that indicated that
millions of microfilm were going to be made available
online in the future and a plan existed to get much of
this indexed as well. Sorry I cannot be more specific.
Beyond that, many rumors exist which some have some
level of truth. The Church does keep many of these
type of things quiet to keep expectations at least
somewhat under control. However, the rumors do fly and
I would treat them just as that . . . rumors.

The Beta testing of the new Temple Ready is about ready to begin.
More will be known about that in the near future I am sure. As to the
other things that are happening in Salt Lake just go to
http://www.familysearch.org and click on News & Events . FGS Presentations then
on A Sneak Peak at the Near Future (pdf file - 6mb)David E. Rencher,
Genealogical Society of Utah. Since this is at the Church site they
must be supportive of what is found in the PowerPoint presentation. You
don't get all the detail found in his talk but it is easy to see where
Salt Lake is headed. Nothing is that secret.

Her beskrives FamilySearch Indexing, som åbenbart gøres tilgængelig i
2006. Den vil indeholde en kombination af indscannede mikrofilm og
indscannede udgivne slægtsbøger, som vil blive automatisk eller
semiautomatisk indexeret.
De har primært amerikansk, canadisk og engelsk materiale på plan, men
måske kunne deres teknologi være interessant for DDA???
I hvert fald interessant læsning.
