MediaWiki is free open source software (FOSS) used to edit and publish Wikipedia as well as many other wikis, including our Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) wiki.

What is a wiki?

A wiki is a website that allows quick editing of its content and structure by its users. The most popular wiki is Wikipedia. "Fun fact"... the term "wiki" actually means quick in Hawaiian.

The Pikes Peak Makerspace Wiki

The Pikes Peak Makerspace Wiki was first launched in the middle of May 2015 by James Gravert and Brandon Hall.

It was taken down for a period of time, but fortunately in the middle of 2021 it was reestablished from backups by Brandon Hall.

Send us a Direct Message on Slack, or post your ideas to the Slack channel #ppm-wiki


AI generated content on this Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) Wiki will be labeled as such, to the extent possible.

Additionally, we are anticipating that AI “chat” interfaces for searching will become increasingly common, so we will be continually improving content here to stay current and remain useful to our members and the general public.

Our social media sites and communication materials may have individual procedures and goals at this time.

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative processes by providing shared space, shared tools, materials, software and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.
