First established in 1998, Mennonite.net has the objective of aiding Mennonite churches and organizations when it comes to have an effective web presence.
To these ends, the company developed and implemented a content manager that is entitled Caravel. This system is based upon OpenLDAP directory technology that makes for the description of large distributed organizations and their websites. In addition to that, Mennonite stands as an e-mail services provider. Bonus features of the website include a Mennonite church finder that can be put into practice simply by keying in specific keywords and choosing between congregations, conferences or organizations from the provided drop down menu. It is also possible to browse through the available database by organization type. Moreover, a mailing list is featured. It provides concise information on changes and upgrades that become available for the existing products. Registration to this mailing list is carried out by providing a valid e-mail address.
