I was hoping to find something related to HCI and Spirituality and found this software. Who uses this? What do they use it for? Who develops it? What kind of usability testing is conduted?      May 26, 2005 I have been trying to compile a list of churhces.... well, it turns out that by conservative estimate there may be 10K churches in the Atlanta area! So, we should definitely find a way to narrow. I attached the spreadsheet that I started with all the info I have so far. There are four tabs, the intown churches tab is probably one of the more helpful at the moment. Also, how interesting is this website?????? I never knew what a HUGE market this is. Oh and if you want to log in to their site and play around, my login is gillianrh@yahoo.com with password church. ListOfChurches.xls  Last modified 5 July 2005 at 1:53 pm by Susan Wyche |
