Why a Wiki?

The wiki (aka ThePsalter) is intended as a convenient tool for all to use to find out information about the Glen Waverley Uniting Church, and to share thoughts and ideas with others in the congregation. Indeed, the original purpose of the wiki was more in line with the second of these concepts, but most usage to date has been based around creating an information repository.

To see something of the idea behind the original purpose, read WikiAsVine and WikiCase.
