Milwaukee Makerspace Wiki

This is an old revision of the document!

These are projects that need to be done around the space for the benefit of the space. If you want to help out on a project dig right in, if you need guidance ask Tom Gralewicz, if you want help with a project post to the group and see who wants to help.

Once you start working on a project put your name after it. Once you finish a project move it down to the finished list so people know who to thank.
