Got a note today that Fellowship One has released an API to let 3rd party developers create applications that integrate into and access their F1 Database.
They have example apps for Iphone and Facebook (Facebook screencast is here)
It will be interesting to see how this strategy plays out for Fellowship One. Is there already a developer community that will invest in launching web applications around church management software? Can an enterprise application like church management software (which is really meant to be used by church staff) find viral adoption in a consumer platform like Facebook?
Regardless, I think its noteworthy that a ChMS product is opening up its database via API's. And it's one of the flexible advantages that Fellowship One has as a software-as-a-service provider.
