The Wiki Maintenance Group is an ad hoc group of members that work together to improve the wiki in a variety of ways, generate some standard procedures, and help ensure the quality of PS:One's wiki. We hope that the Wiki will be something that members will find useful in their time at PS:One, a historical record and source of truth for the organization, and be generally useful for the broader online Hacker/Maker community. | |||
