Technology
This committee is at the core of Dhamma.org and covers many projects including:
International websites:
Dhamma.org provides subdomains (centrename.dhamma.org) to all locations offering Vipassana meditation courses as taught by S.N. Goenka. The dhamma.org domain gives a unique worldwide presentation of this tradition. See here for more information.
Mobile app:
The Dhamma.org Mobile App offers students support for their daily practice. It has a rich library of resources and search and registration tools to courses. More information can be found here.
M365: communication and mailing system
Dhamma.org offers a secure mailing system with personal dhamma.org email addresses and other communications tools to aid collaboration between individuals and teams – centres, Acariyas, ATs, trusts, and committees. More information can be found here.
Mailing lists
Dhamma.org provides centres, ATs and Ts with a number of mailing lists for effective communication. See here for more information.
Audio and video library:
Resources are available in numerous languages for students. See here for more information. For instance, course discourses, group sittings and more. The MediaWalla tool deals with teaching materials on courses.
Course schedules and online applications:
Dhamma.org provides online schedules and application forms for courses worldwide. Applications are forwarded to the different registration systems for processing. The consistent front-end provides a unified way to find and apply for regular and long courses worldwide. Applicants may create a user account to pre-fill forms with their details.
Long course approval process:
Long course applications involve a workflow that requires the cooperation of students, Dhamma servers and recommending AT/Ts from around the world to complete the application process. Often those involved are not in the same region: thus handling of long course applications is offered by Dhamma.org.
International special list:
Dhamma.org works in close collaboration with other tech teams, such as CALM, Dipi, DhammaReg, to share information concerning Special List entries, to provide a better service to ATs, students, and registrars globally.
Dhamma.org portal:
The portal is a self-service administrative site for schedulers, local admins, and many others. More information can be found here.
Wiki:
The Wiki is a widely-used repository of information and documents. It can also be used by centres and trusts or working groups to store their documents and information. More information can be found here.
