[Noisebridge-discuss] Reorganization at noisebridge

[Ben M]

I want to go through and inventory all the bins on what I think are the 
hack shelves (south of the previous sewing area). I want to place the 
inventory somewhere on the wiki along with photographs of the stuff. I am 
going to do this starting next week. If you know how the shelves are 
arranged ping me. I also want to bundle and tie the cables and eliminate 
any rat's nest situations with the variety of cabling in the bins.

Connected to this intention: there is now a 3.5mm M/M cable for the line 
in on pony. Since 3.5mm M/M cables may be at a premium in the space I 
request no one deviate from excellent mode and remove the cables if 
possible or if they do please return the items so others who may need the 
cables can find them and use them as well.

Does anyone have suggestions on how an inventory of the hack shelves could 
be presented so that searching and editing the data would be easy to do 
and an attractive endeavor since the inventory mitigates previous 
challenges of what may or may not be on the hack shelves to be fucked 
with? I will mess w wiki tags and other solutions and figure out a way. 
(Thinking of current zine based on drupal CMS, thanks Tony and Miloh and 
others for having these idea available while others brainstorm)
