Frequently Asked Questions

• Who is the target audience of Vineyard?– Answer – Church members and other volunteers. Membership isn’t a

requirement.

• How is Vineyard different than LDS Tech?– Answer – LDS Tech is targeted to software development, the Vineyard

is available to non-technical audiences.

• Why does the Vineyard use proprietary technologies that limit participation?– Answer – Concept was being piloted so speed of development drove

the technology decision. With the concept accepted, we will re-visit technology decisions and re-factor when appropriate.
