Space Inventory

So, I’m wondering, what else do we have lingering around the space that is not formally owned by VHS?

If I recall correctly, the following items are on loan/are being maintained/operated/owned by members or third parties:
Vending machine, by @iMakeRobots
Tinkerine Ditto Pro, by Tinkerine
Manual mill, by unknown
Lathe, by unknown
CNC Mill, by @rsim
Solidworks Workstation, by @toma

I’ll put this list on the wiki later.

IIRC, the two metal bandsaws?

Most people can’t find anything on the wiki, or wouldn’t think to look there. Please label the things with their owner’s name and maybe their email.

This is something that came up during the move, and we should be keeping better track of this going forward.

We quickly wrote up a template, this should be refined and stored (as a hardcopy) for all of our loaned tools

See here: donations [Vancouver Hack Space]

These are owned by a friend of John Craver’s, there is a spreadsheet with contact info that exists. I will make this available to the Directors.

[/quote]This needs to change. The wiki is a repository with a huge amount of information. It only becomes useful if everyone uses it.

Agreed. How will you convince them to change their behavior? In this case I suggest write the URL to the wiki page on the label attached to the thing.

Things to improve wiki, should probably be a new topic.

Here is a couple we might not all agree on.

  1. add wiki url to box labels

  2. adding tags to wiki
    If you don’t like tags, you don’t need to use them.

Can we add tags to the VHS wiki.

Yes, I know this is a doacracy. This weekend is the earliest I will have
chance to look in to adding tags.

It would help me to categorize things.

Is there a way to grant all members/key holders access to the wiki automatically? I’d think that’s the most hindering thing. Right now the registration is broken I think…

Yeah, totally broken.

Bernie found out and told me last week, and someone is looking into it when they have a moment.

I’m not sure, how long it’s been broken for, that might be the reason the bot problem has been solved…

Ordinarily, everyone should have access, should they want it. Members or not.
