Website Development

From Lyccwiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Contents


Initially, this wiki was set up to provide easy collaboration to design our formal website and to see if it were possible to make a "living" internet site (with input from different members here and abroad). Was also considering some kind of community page for everyone to upload things of their interest... Anyway... It seems that this wiki itself will be the main site maintained.


Projects

  • Bing's Songs site (need community wiki login)
  • Record Communion Talks (not actively updated)

Aims

Current information

  • Rosters, calendars
  • Events, what's on next week, etc

Resources

  • Sermons, bible study materials, gospel tracts
  • Links and discussions on various Christian topics

Community

  • Allowing posts and participation and interaction from members
  • have yesterdays sermon for lunch? discuss sermons, ?post full text or summary

Target groups:

Jobs in progress

  • how to ask people to join the bandwagon of adding stuff to the site...
  • further information (more towards site design rather than content) can be found on Worklist.

Content

  • address page, map
  • events
    • nice to get someone to write some lines +/- pictures of special events or every Sunday
  • uploading sermons
    • searching... for some missing ones in Rev and James
    • will upload somemore if I have the time


Look

  • make site template more lively


Tech

  •  ?change site CMS (content management system) - using Mambo (it's a bit slow to edit, otherwise is fairly flexible)
    • allows anyone registered to post material
  • anyone know a web based access program that allows anyone with a password to upload files? (instead of using full admin/root access for upload only)
  • security and safety - may need to implement some form of multi-layer security so that our names and timetables don't become public property


Brainstorming

Look

Content

    • What are we about?
      • Mission Statement
      • Vision/Direction
      • What we do?


    • Policy
      • summary of Statement of Faith
      • xChurch Rules
      • Policy documents


  • Current
    • Calender
      • Schedule (of semons)
      • Rosters
    • Events/prayer - decided to combine this
      • Upcoming events
        • Birthdays : cleve, elaine
        • visits from missionaries/returnees
        • other world events: death of leon morris


  • Special Interest to church
  • Photos
  • +/- Public Forums (or just share one)


Sermons

  • MP3s up
  • Will attempt to include either outline or full text. considering linking with name of book first, so category:sermon will have books in order... but would need 01, 02, ... 10, 11... which is less elegant...

Other technical stuff

  • consider modifying default monobook.css to effect complete change of look
  • partial CSS Mods
  • designing a stripped down monobook.css thing to integrate the wiki (mediawiki) with the website (mambo)
