Introducing NYC Mesh Wiki

This page is intended as a catch page for people who follow old docs links which no longer lead anywhere.

NYC Mesh Wiki has replaced NYC Mesh Docs:

If you've landed on this page, you were probably trying to follow a link to something on nycmesh.net/docs. That section of our website has now been replaced by this wiki and the specific page you were looking for no longer exists, so you were redirected here.

You are now on the NYC Mesh wiki, our new central repository of information.  We apologize we weren't able to link you directly to the article you were looking for. Please see the following information to help find what you need.

How to find what you are looking for:

Using the wiki is easy! You can either search for the topic you need with the search bar at the top, or browse individual sections with the sidebar on the left.

To search for a topic, click the search bar above and type in a few key words about your topic.

  • Pages cover specific topics and may include various sections.

Why we made this change:

Our previous documentation section of our website (nycmesh.net/docs) used Github as the hosting and editing back end.
This was great for allowing multiple people to work on our website and provide edits, however it required knowledge of Github and some basic coding experience (markdown language) to use. It also required installing Hugo (the website engine) on your system and setting up a local copy of the website to test your changes.

Following feedback from our members about how the docs were hard to edit and difficult for new people to use, we decided to move to a different system. 

This Bookstack Wiki site allows easy editing from any device with a simple to use interface.
Anyone can make an account and contribute to the side, no web design or coding experience required. Please see How to edit the Wiki for a step by step instructions.
The Wiki also has an audit log, allow previous revisions and changes to be seen, rolled back to and managed.
