OSMinistry has changed in form since when I had my first ideas about it.
Originally it was to be a resource and knowledgebase for technology in ministry. This includes the technologies useful in ministry, using that technology for ministry, and building ministry across that technology. I have stopped the work on the knowledgebase in favor of a forum for discussion. It gets more involvement than a knowledgebase would anyway.
While I love the use of forums for allowing solid and expanded discussions on topics, many people do not have time to follow yet another forum. Blogs, on the other hand are typically shallow, but they have more immediacy and are easier for outsiders to look in on.
This is why I have decided to start a blog here at OSM. It was almost one year ago (well, one week shy of a year ago) that I started a RSS Feed for the forum. It met part of the need, but lacked the abilities of a blog system like WordPress. Basically, I believe that people interact differently with blogs and are more likely to link and refer to one than to an RSS feed or a plain forum.
So, here goes something.
