Edinburgh Hacklab

Welcome to the Hacklab wiki! This is where we put:

• Information about the space, how we run things, and how things work
• Information about our tools, links to manuals, etc.
• Plans, projects, and ideas that we want to collaborate on.
• Notes from meetings, and some other paperwork.
• Anything else that's beneficial to share, and that we don't want lost in the depths of chat history.

Pages are editable by any member, so don't be afraid to add/change things you think people will find helpful. See the dokuwiki documentation or ask someone else if you get stuck.

If you're a member, you can access the members area for meeting minutes and accounts.
