A wiki is a website that allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users. Think of it like a set of Google Docs, Spreadsheets, etc, interlinked together and easily editable by anyone viewing them. (Access to our wiki is only for Ananda members.)
It's our global, private collaboration/sharing space for Ananda members. There's already a lot of good information available: many photo albums, Ananda Music resources, Camano Island stories and photos, a page about Jairam, the Joyful Arts Initiative, and more!

What's the tool? Notion is a web service that has very graciously given us a free account which would otherwise cost tens of thousands of dollars per year. It is a very fluid combination of Google Docs/Sheets, Dropbox, Evernote, To-Do Lists, WeTransfer, and more. It has a WIDE variety of uses: project management, information sharing across centers, and for personal use (as everyone gets their own private work area).
This page you are viewing is part of the wiki. We have made this page available to anyone but the rest of the wiki is private. For an account, go toGetting Wiki Access.
