To use the programming skills of the team in a collaborative effort to produce tools for the genealogical community, both on and off the Internet.
To respond to the needs of genealogists and the IIGS to produce, pro-actively if possible, the tools for uniting genealogists around the world. This will be achieved using the tools and methods pioneered by the Apache Group at http://www.apache.org who develop the world's most popular Webserver. Programming Team Vision
An important component of the Apache Group's methods are the rules by which the group operates. We have adopted those rules here (with minor modifications). They can be seen at http://www.iigs.org/programming/rules.htm Programming Team Rules

Programmers: C, C++, Java, Perl, CGI, shell programming, procmail, etc. Documenters: HTML, SGML.
