"Someone should ..." - This phrase is uttered very often when it comes to upgrades in the space, so why not gather all the ideas here?

How this page works

  1. You have an idea how to improve something in the Lab.
  2. Write down the basic infos in the table below.
  3. As the project idea matures write down any further details/instructions onto this page.
    For bigger projects (> 2 weeks working time) consider to create an own project page on the wiki.
  4. Introduce your project on the next plenum or gather people to help you.
  5. When finished move it to the "Finished Projects" table and tell everybody in Slack (#completed-projects) which awesome improvement you did!
