In The Hole

One of the good things about working on the web is that one learns something new everyday. And I am not talking about the latest scoops from sources that are not caught in traditional media.

I am once more engaged in selling an idea about how collaborative work on a website can also facilitate the creation of other things, e.g. a parish newsletter.
