<a id="home"></a> # Hobart Hackerspace wiki ([wiki.local](#home)) This is our documentation store. This is **your** place to stash records of how to use our gear and what projects/experiments you've done. In the spirit of our *Make -- Learn -- Inspire* motto, use it to: - **learn** from others' experience, - share how you **made** something (including the gory details *and* the mistakes) - **inspire** others to explore and create! Connect from within our local network at: [http://wiki.local](#home) (`http` only — `https` isn’t possible with`.local` hostnames). From outside, it's [https://wiki.hobarthackerspace.org.au/](https://wiki.hobarthackerspace.org.au/) or (if all else fails:-) [https://publish.obsidian.md/hhs-wiki/Hackerspace+Wiki](https://publish.obsidian.md/hhs-wiki/Hackerspace+Wiki). We encourage all members to contribute to our wiki and correct any errors. The tool we use to maintain the site is [*Obsidian*](https://obsidian.md) — a free, multiplatform Markdown editor.

The content is created and maintained in *Obsidian* and then published to the web. *Obsidian* is a file-based personal note-making system, using Markdown -- a markup language you're probably already familiar with (or can learn very quickly if you're not). Details on how to add to or change it are in the [How to use this wiki](Contributing%20using%20Obsidian%20and%20Git.md) page. Briefly, all source is in [markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org) format; it is stored in and shared from a [github](https://github.com/hobart-hackerspace/wiki-obsidian) repository. [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) is used to manage the content and to publish to this site. The base system is maintained by [Brian Marriott](mailto:[email protected]) -- but it's up to all members to provide the content! The [details of how to do this are here](Contributing%20to%20our%20wiki.md) If you have suggestions for improvement, [email Brian](mailto:[email protected]) or add an issue to [our Github tickets page](https://github.com/hobart-hackerspace/wiki-obsidian/issues). *BWM*
