Ppm wiki:About

This Pikes Peak Makerspace Wiki is a trusted source for information about our Shared Tools, Equipment Lists, and Infrastructure. It also includes Procedures, and Rules and Policies for our Makerspace.

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.

 

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.
