Mr. Wilson WF-17 · BUSINESS SYSTEMS · REPAIRS
For Volunteer-run community churches

Sunday gets on the site by typing the bulletin in every Friday.

The pews already have the file. One five-minute upload and the site comes out current. A person still drops it.

A 1991 photograph of a church business, its sign across the front and nobody in the picture — the poster for the Mr. Wilson film.
FREE · NO CALL REQUIREDThe Installation Pack The installation guide, the three-minute guide, friday bulletin checklist, the workflow board and the cards — 11 files, 3.6MB. What it takes to put this in, and what it refuses to do. Yours to keep whether or not we ever speak.

It downloads on this page the moment you submit — no waiting on an email. No call is booked and nothing is scheduled. If you want the free audit afterwards you have to ask for it.

THE PROBLEM

The Friday Bulletin

Every Friday someone retyped the bulletin into the website by hand. That is how Sunday got on the site.

HOW IT WORKS

Every step is named. The last one is a person.

This is the whole chain, in order. There is no step after the signature and no way to skip to it.

1 FRIDAY'S BULLETIN IS DROPPED

The same file they print for the pews. One upload. A person does that.

2 THE SITE REREADS IT

Services, songs, scripture, the header. Off the PDF, not retyped.

3 IF A LINE WILL NOT READ, IT STAYS BLANK

A person fills that line. The site does not guess a hymn title.

4 LYRICS STAY MARKED PARTIAL

The overlay is built, still running demo lyrics. This job is the bulletin.

5 A PERSON STILL DROPS THE FILE

The site does not fetch the copier.

WHEN IT IS WRONG

Because sometimes it will be.

Every workflow gets something wrong eventually. Here is where this one does, so you can decide whether you can live with it. We would rather print ours than have you discover it.

IF A LINE ON THE PDF WILL NOT READ

Leave it blank. A person types that one. Do not guess.

IF YOU WANT TO SELL THE LYRICS OVERLAY

It is built, still running demo lyrics. Do not claim it is done.

IF YOU WANT TO NAME THE PARISH

The client is blinded. The film refuses.

IF YOU WANT THE WORDS IT WILL NOT SAY

Replaced the volunteers. Illegal. In violation. The page refuses all three.

WHAT COMES IN THE PACK

Everything the shop needs to decide, and to install.

11 files, 3.6MB. Yours to keep and to use, whether or not we ever speak. Nothing in it phones home, and nothing in it is a licence you have to renew.

The paperwork

The installation guide, the three-minute guide, the checklist and the catalog page.

  • installation-guide.pdf
  • 3-minute-guide.pdf
  • editorial-guide.pdf
  • checklist.pdf
The workflow

The board that shows every step in order, as one image you can put on a wall.

  • workflow-board.gif
The Big Fix card

One page that states the busywork, the fix and the number it moves.

  • big-fix-card.png
  • big-fix-animated.gif
The cards

The quote cards, sized for a feed, and the thumbnail.

  • thumbnail-16x9.jpg
The film

Its poster, captions and chapter list. The film itself plays above — it is not in the zip.

  • captions.srt
  • chapters.txt
  • poster.jpg
NO FORM. NO EMAIL.

The 3-Minute Guide

What gets checked, where a file usually breaks, and what changes. About three minutes.
