Hi All,
Steven of MSI Chicago here looking to get in the know with all things Fablab. There are some operations and processes that I would REALLY like to gain some knowledge of and hopefully you guys can help. Also, if there is something that I can help with, I am available to you.

Hi all!
One thing we've been doing in terms of documentation is collecting all
our information onto a wiki at http://fablab.is/wiki/
It's currently very fragmented and incoherent, with large slabs of
data in Icelandic and other smaller slabs in English, but given time and
effort it might develop into a more coherent assortment of information.
Feel free to contribute, and if there's anything in Icelandic sitting
in an awkward place in the namespace feel free to move it to the same
name with " (is)" appended or something like that. (I'd like to do a Foo
session at FAB5 to figure out and implement a good structure for the
wiki if there's time and interest.. let me know)
I've also been trying to figure out where all the good datasets lie,
here's a few off the top of my head:
- http://www.instructibles.com - step by step gadgetry
- http://www.appropedia.org - appropriate technology
- http://openmaterials.org - materials science fun
- http://www.oshwbank.org - open source hardware bank
- http://schoolofeverything.com - match teachers with students
- http://www.sparkfun.com - great site for electronics
- http://www.openwetware.org - a wiki on DIY bioengineering
- http://www.diybio.org - a DIY bio blog
What else is there?
- Smári

Where do all of those tutorials come from?

What's FAB5?

Actually, it's:

It's actually a wiki for academic synthetic biology. The diybio group
has three or four pages on there. There is also a wiki over at
diybioforum.org/wiki but it largely just has an openmanufacturing FAQ
and so on.

I'm sure you were thinking of it, but thingiverse.com probably belongs
in that list as well. Ponoko, shapeways, emachineshop, and a few
others that I am also forgetting.
