Hello Brothers and Sisters,
It is with great pleasure that I officially announce the JoS Wiki!
Based on the MediaWiki software, our Wiki serves as the central hub of organized JoS knowledge. Although far from finished, it is a platform where multiple editors can work to organize JoS content in ways that cannot easily be done through the main websites. The software platform itself is what Wikipedia is based on, so it is widely known and supported, including with many software extensions already installed on our Wiki.
Given the large amount of JoS information, especially on similar topics, we set out to find ways to present this in an accessible manner. Many of us are used to clicking through the JoS website and its many pages (about 500) to find what we needed, often needing to look in multiple areas. This is often much harder for new people, who don't know where to look.
The JoS Wiki makes it much easier to view and search through this content, with editors having the ability to easily create and move pages, add links and sections headers, "read more" sections, and add tables and text highlighting to better display the content. With that being said, it is not a revision of the content of the Clergy, but rather a better way display what exists.
From the beginning, the volunteers on this project had the arduous task of importing large amounts of JoS content onto the new platform, then organizing it appropriately. This task is ongoing and will be for a long time, especially as new sermons are always coming out.

Content Example 2
In addition, the Wiki features "CirrusSearch", which is a pre-built search system, allowing quick searching of any relevant titles or content:
All content revisions are logged, attributed to the editor, and can be visually seen and reviewed, including reversed, in the case of trolls. This makes the platform safe and easy to manage, along with the fact that the entire Wiki can be backed up and imported onto a new server.
Anyone who wants to take part in the creation of this hub of spiritual knowledge should email me, and they will receive an account and instructions on how to operate the Wiki, and what needs attention. This is definitely a massive project that always needs and appreciates help.
Given our place in history, there is no reason why our Wiki cannot take a leading role as the spiritual knowledge hub for humanity, able to draw together the entire content of JoS into an organized and interconnected state. Of course, this will continue to take lots of effort.
Due to the early nature of the project, I am not yet sure how to organize the translation of content, although it will likely mirror what Wikipedia does.
With that being said, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the project thus far:
