Wikis excel at collaboration. Wikis are made up of a series of unique pages with evolving content. A Wiki, as a whole is an organic means of organizing a chaotic lot of information among a vast group of people. It's also the best way for us to share our efforts with the rest of the world.

Wikis can hold a lot of content.  Instead of trying to implement a complex CMS, assigning permissions, worrying about anonymous FTP, etc., we just say "throw it on the wiki".

== What we DO NOT use this Wiki for ==
 
* '''Home Page''': Our [http://hacdc.org home page] is designed to quickly inform and provide content on HacDC to the outside world.  We can embed static content into a regular homepage much more easily and safely than we can in a wiki.
* '''Promotion''': That's why our [http://hacdc.org/ blog] exists, to keep people informed on HacDC's projects and events.
* '''Discussion''': That's what e-mail and IRC are for.  While we encourage the active use of talk pages for specific project collaboration, we encourage group discussion through e-mail lists and our IRC channel.

Our annual board-member elections are occurring on Tuesday, Mar 12!

Welcome to HacDC. We are a hacker space located in Washington, DC. HacDC members improve the world by creatively rethinking technology. We break, build, and occasionally abuse technology in the pursuit of greater knowledge about how it works and repurposing it to build new things. Our shop is located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of the District of Columbia.

If you're new here, you should start by looking at our public web site at hacdc.org and our discord (https://discord.gg/YTeBg2fEgX) .
