We're happy to announce we have a working wiki installed.

We should try to concentrate on creating a series of "meta-resources", in line with the articles we're publishing on the Guardian "How to Mend". So, we're not even pretending to be competing with iFixit or similar make/model-based resources, but instead providing useful information, ie. how to search for a user manual, what to do when searching for a spare part, how to speed up a laptop, etc

Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
