Hi all: Mark Stephenson mentons on page 20 of the book, "Web Empower Your Church" that at Ginghamsburg they set up kiosks for members who don't have internet access to use somewhere within their church. Has anyone had experience with this? Mark? Are these kiosks to view the full website and do they require a monitor and keyboard/mouse. Is there a way to export the news section items from a WEC website to display on a monitor in a rotating slide show fashion in a room inside the church????? Can this be done from Typo3 or is another program required? My church has wireless internet access throughout the building and we have a well established WEC/Typo3/Vine hosted website: princetonumc.org
We want to build an electronic kiosk in the room where our coffee hours are held which is right next to our sanctuary.

I will be attending the April 4th GNJAC workshop in Ocean, NJ
Sincerely, Pat Hatton

Pat,

We use Site Kiosk

download.cnet.com/SiteKiosk/3000-2356_4-10044629.html?tag=mncol

Kiosk software is not related to TYPO3. It runs on a client computer and then people can browse with some restrictions.

As a start. You can use Kiosk software on a computer at the church and just set it up to browse your website. Or you can add some special pages on your website that are special Kiosk pages. But just having the site up and available should be useful.

In Him,
Mark
