Purposes of Tech
Many people know of the resources for ward clerks and technology specialists on tech.churchofjesuschrist.org. The forum and wiki contain myriad conversations and a knowledge base for technology related ward and stake issues that cannot be found anywhere else. Tech.churchofjesuschrist.org is an indispensable resource to those seeking technology support in their demanding and difficult callings.
Project Objectives
The purpose of this project is to continue to improve the self-support services provided through Tech.
Self-Support
The forum and wiki are the tools for self-support on the site. The wiki provides a codified knowledge base for officially approved uses and scenarios for Church related technology. In the forum, users can post questions and get answers from other forum users. They can also search previous remarks from users. Problems that aren't answered in the wiki can be researched in the forum.
Community Collaboration
Tech provides a collection of tools, to enable community collaboration.
Content Management
Joomla is used to manage and maintain the blog, users and projects.
Test system
The dev system is no longer publicly accessible. You must be on the Church network or on VPN to connect.
