          <p>RootsDev is an informal community of developers, designers, database managers, family historians, and genealogists who are working with genealogical tools and data.</p>

<p>Join the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/rootsdev">RootsDev Google Group</a> or view us on <a href="https://github.com/rootsdev">GitHub</a>.</p>

<h3>Join us if...</h3>

<ul>
<li>You're working on an open-source family tree program and want to discuss it.</li>
<li>You're want to talk about new standards like historical-data or old standards like GEDCOM.</li>
<li>You're trying to figure out how to use APIs to sites like FamilySearch.</li>
<li>You're looking for an open-source project to contribute to.</li>
<li>You want to get feedback for your closed-source software or recruit developers for your company.</li>
<li>You're trying to figure out how to encode documents of genealogical interest.</li>
</ul><h3>RootsDev Background</h3>

<p>RootsDev spun off of a conversation on the Family Search Developer Network mailing list.  One developer suggested that we needed a community, another suggested we needed standards, another suggested we needed to rally behind an open-source project, and yet another just wanted a place to discuss development practices in the family history domain.</p>

<p>Eventually we created RootsDev, modeled on the successful community of library programmers at <a href="http://code4lib.org/">#code4lib</a>.</p>
