 You can join by following the steps , which are, in short:
-* The first step should be to check out the space. We have a public meeting every Tuesday at 8pm. You'll get a tour and if you join that night, it's a good time to get your ID checked. You could also come by any event that’s open to the public. There are many: almost anything on the event calendar that isn’t a tool authorization.
+* Check out the join page, https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/wiki/Join
-* You can apply for membership by starting recurring payments [https://pumpingstationone.org/join/ on the website]. From the home page, look for the "Join" menu item.
-* Find two board members or authorized membership admins to check your government-issued ID. To find them: attend either a Tuesday open house (8 pm almost every Tuesday, except for a few holidays) or a [[New Member Orientation]]. Before your membership is official, two [[The Board|board members]] (or one of the non-board [[ID Checkers|authorized ID checkers]]) will need to check a government-issued photo ID. Either of these events is a good time for that. Once your ID has been verified, you'll get an RFID fob for door entry and will be able to start getting authorized to use tools and equipment. If you can’t make it to an open house or an orientation there are still many times you can have your ID checked; to arrange a time send an email to info@pumpingstationone.org
-* Once you've received your welcome email, you should go to [http://membership.pumpingstationone.org our member site] and activate your PS1 account. This account will serve as your Wiki account as well as your log in for computers around the space. Do this as soon as possible.
 But you've got concerns, let's address them:

 * How do I get authorized to use the laser cutter?
-The laser cutter is our most popular tool. There may be an authorization session on the Events calendar, or one may be in the process of forming, usually based on a discussion on the Google Group mailing list. There are a few recommended authorizers for the laser. Check the [http://wiki.pumpingstationone.org wiki] page for the laser, as you would for any tool. There are more volunteer authorizers for laser cutters than ever before; scheduling a time won’t be hard.

 == How do I get authorized on tools? ==
-It depends. Start by looking for a wiki page for that tool, see if that tells you how. You can find a thing's wiki page by searching for it on the wiki, or by looking for an [https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Template:EquipmentPage equipment label] on the thing that will tell you the URL to the thing's wiki page.
+# Check if there is a [https://canvas.pumpingstationone.org Canvas course] on that tool and complete it with passing scores.
+## Check this wiki for a page on the tool you're interested in. Look for an [https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Template:EquipmentPage equipment label] on the tool you're interested in for a QR code that will take you to its wiki page.
+# Contact the area host and area authorizers through email, discourse, or Discord to schedule a convenient time for an in person authorization.
+# Make sure you understand the equipment well to avoid damaging it, yourself, and others. Let your authorizer know you want to meet with them or another volunteer again if you feel unsure in your abilities.
+# Make sure the authorizer adds to your Wild Apricot profile that you're authorized on the equipment.
+# Have fun and follow the scout principle of leaving your newly acquired tool area cleaner than you found it.
-Most/many tools require authorization. This was formerly referred to as certification and many members wiki pages still refer to it as that. Authorization requirements vary from thing to thing, sometimes have prerequisites and sometimes can only be done by one or a small set of trainers. Information about how to get authorized may be explained in detail on a particular tool's [[equipment|wiki page]], and is likely to be discussed on the mailing list/Google group. For some of the more common authorization schemes, here is a quick reference:
