Mishmash - an email discussion list for mission agency webmasters and communicators

MishMash is a two-way email discussion list for webmasters and web-related teams within mission agencies. It covers several areas:

technical issues and problems in HTML and other scripting
achieving an effective graphical style and easy site navigation and usability
broader issues of communication: how can we effectively communicate with our online target audience in order to enthuse and mobilize them for world mission?

So often, in the mission and web world, webmasters or small advocacy teams are working in relative isolation, and cannot easily interact with others in their field. Often, too, the wheel is repeatedly re-invented; or inadequate second-class wheels are used because no-one knows how, or where, a better wheel might be obtained!

MishMash is a joint venture between this Web Evangelism Guide and Cybermissions.

It does not overlap with the valuable ICCM discussion list, which has a much broader focus – the application of technology to missionary endeavor, or the excellent Brigada Today newsletter.

Please add information about MishMash to your mission intranet if you have one. The email subscribe address to quote is:
