Cool ideas. I had forgotten about lindsay books. Great resource.
Anyone start a wiki page on Hackerspace.org yet? I'm in yosemite or is do it
myself..

BTW schoolfactory.org is a loose collection of hackerspaces that is working
on sharing knowledge and helping people start spaces.  They hosted a day2
panel talk at makerfaire.

curriculums.
