| There are over 2500 pages of information about church groups, church events, church services and church people. Members of the Glen Waverley Uniting Church congregation are invited to browse these pages, starting at http://wiki.gwuc.org.au/. Some pages may require users to login; a username and password can be obtained by emailing [email protected] . Note that the PSALTER wiki provides a lot more information about current events, people and church activities than does the web site. The web site is for external (non-GWUC people), whereas the PSALTER is designed to provide information for members of the congregation. * The PSALTER wiki provides information of interest to the congregation. * The PSALTER meets a need similar to the weekly bulletin, but in addition provides a tool for meeting and group management (e.g. diary management, agenda management, report management) * PSALTER content is dynamic, with both future looking and record keeping aspects. * PSALTER content can be created and amended by anyone who has access permissions, and can be the most up-to-date of any of the communications options. * The PSALTER does not rely on a particular publication cycle. == PSALTER Wiki Policy == The policy for the use of the PSALTER wiki explains the application of Code of Conduct for members of the Glen Waverley Uniting Church congregation to the use of the PSALTER wiki. |
