User:Martind/Broken

A short list of perceived LHS problems people currently complain about at the Hackspace.

Let's not discuss details yet but merely collect opinions. It's also not important whether a particular complaint is correct/justified or not, we can discuss that later.

We don't necessarily need to address all of these, but they'll help us pick a few good starting points.

(It's fine to be quite evocative in your phrasing)

Current (Perceived) Problems

• Tidiness: the space is a mess
• Too many people: no space to work
• Tools are always broken (and: people use tools without knowing how to do it properly)
• People don't return keys for tool access control
• Too many half-finished jobs (infrastructure, projects)
• Misuse of DNH stickers (not providing enough information; forgetting to also inform the mailing list.)
• People stopped making things and just hang out
• Our online social spaces are poisoned by trolls
• Our online social spaces are poisoned by people who take those who disagree with them as trolls
• Front door always open: weak distinction of members/non-members (security/safety problems.)

Would be Nice

• A (maintained) London Hackspace manual
• A welcome email with links/instructions
• An effective way of finding out who to ask for help
