We have a finite amount of space, so we will inevitably have to throw away what seems like useful stuff. To get rid of the clutter, follow the following easy steps:
* If you want to throw something away which looks useful, make sure the mailing list is informed well in advance.
# Label that it's going to be disposed, with a date four weeks from now
# Announce it on the mailing list. Wait 2 weeks
# Announce it again on the mailing list. Wait 2 weeks
# Announce it one last time on the mailing list.
# If it's electronic equipment that might have useful stuff in, rip out the electronics and put it in the electronic junk box
# Otherwise, dispose of it
 
== Disposal Proposal ==
# Put whatever you think should be junked on the "to be junked" shelf
# Every Tuesday the "to be junked" shelf is sorted. Religiously.
## Things to be junked go in the junk box
## Things to be salvaged go in the salvage box
## Everything else gets put away properly and labelled with its purpose (and reason for not using) if need be
## Anything moved to the junk or salvage box gets documented on the wiki page with a date, which is then linked in the weekly notes
# Whenever someone has time, anything that is in the junk box that has been there for more than four weeks goes in the skip
 
== The N Commandments ==
 
*Rule 0 : Do not be on fire
*Rule 1 : Hack safe. But not TOO safe.
*Rule 2 : Don't hack someone else's stuff without permission
*Rule 3 : If it's not broke, fix it until it is.
