What is a WIKI? Hawaiian for “quick” Not a passive, “read only” website An effective & interactive way of working through sharing, learning, trusting people (most are trustworthy & the Wiki is monitored) An effective way of working: takes time and effort (all shared learning does) and needs active members An effective way of working: saves time and money for all (costs nothing), all pages are pre-formatted It’s a lot of fun if you are not shy Can be replicated in any setting (go ahead!)

Why WIKI? Open inter-congregational sharing Subsidiarity in action Built by the community of users: everybody contributes Simple to use, accessible for all Simple to edit, add to, update; text & visual Sustainable for JPIC office because it can be run by anyone from anywhere in the world and is easy to learn for new volunteers
