[Ldsoss] Testors for FamilySearch API, Developer Website, and Support

[Gordon Clarke]

LDS Developers,
 
We are finally inviting developers to try out our new (yet-to-be released) API for reading and writing to our new FamilySearch Family Tree online application.  The table of contents of the API Documentation is below. We would like participants to spend 6 to 10 hours over a three week period testing out the "restful API", commenting on our documentation, sample client code, and the developer network website.  Participants will be provided temporary accounts to access a "sandbox" that has a full working system. If you're interested please provide:
 
Name:
 
Address:
 
Phone: 
 
Programming language(s):
 
Experience with Web Services:
 
Years of programming experience:
 
Description of how you would like to us the API (in addition to login and simple reads):
 
 
You will be contacted by phone or email and then sent access information before the testing period begins.  The number of participants may be limited depending upon the level of interest.
 
Best regards,
