Welkom!
Deze site wordt beheerd door The Restart Project. De Wiki is een plaats waar degenen onder ons in de Restarters gemeenschap met ervaring en vaardigheden in het repareren van apparaten en gadgets deze kunnen delen met degenen die beginnen, of wiens eigen kennis op andere gebieden ligt.
Wat deze wiki niet is
Het zal u niet laten zien hoe u een bepaald merk en model apparaat moet repareren; dat laten we over aan de diverse fix-it sites en de vele demontagevideo's. Hier concentreren we ons op basale en breed toepasbare principes. U kunt ook hulp krijgen met een bepaald apparaat op Twitter of Instagram door @RestartProject te taggen.
Voor wie is het?
Het is bedoeld voor iedereen die nieuwsgierig is naar hoe dingen werken en hoe ze te repareren. Er wordt geen voorkennis verondersteld. In de geest van het zo breed mogelijk delen van kennis is iedereen welkom om het te lezen. Om bij te dragen, gewoon aanmelden en beginnen met bewerken!
Zoals elke wiki is ook deze een werk-in-uitvoering. Pagina's waarnaar hieronder in het rood wordt verwezen, bestaan nog niet, maar worden verwacht.
Voor meer informatie over ons werk en onze visie om de relatie van de wereld met elektronica te veranderen, kunt u terecht op de homepage van The Restart Project.
