[Freedombox-discuss] How-can-i-help on Freedombox today

Tue Jan 19 03:13:13 UTC 2016

Hello Petter,

nice :)

i wonder if it can be part of the wiki on an updated page.

Some are saying the wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox) is
complex and frightening already though. 

Here are some interesting efforts to make the wiki readable and
pleasant to collaborate.
