ISKCON internet outreach
Last year passed by unremarkably. This year sees new directional shifts. We’re in this together, one way or other, for better or worse. Seems like a good time to join the congregational chanting of Holy Name!
Although not even in budding state, this website is the culmination of many years preparation. Over the past 15 years, we have worked on projects both big and small. We collaborate and share with friends. They in turn share with their friends, and so on.
Untold hours has gone into developing a multi-site publishing solution that we call Digital Archive System™. Based on Open Source, common sense and built for collaboration, we say simpler is better.
Digital Archive System™
- Documents are stored as plain.txt in a folder system, server & local.
- Simple syntax for **bold**, //italic//, [[link]] and ((footnote)).
- You don’t need coding skills to contribute.
- A computer, tablet or even a phone can edit pages.
- Download archive, edit, sync with other collaborators.
- Edit documents directly in a text editor on your computer.
- We collaborate on ONE SOURCE, and contribute corrections.
- In turn, everyone has an equal and complete backup of the source.
- Internet down? No problem. Keep working offline until it is back up.
- We want to translate into many languages. This is a pressing matter.
You can help us tip the scale!
For now, a few sample pages:
