Welcome to the Workspace

This is the home page wiki for Hackathon Toronto, Saturday, April 28, 2007. Hackathon Toronto is now over, so the wiki will be frozen.

To edit this wiki, you will need to register an account by using the link in the upper-right hand corner of the page. Do not use a valuable password. You have the option of saving the password on the computer you are using, in which case you will not have to log in when you come back to the workspace. Once you have registered and logged in, the Register link will no longer be visible; it will be replaced by "Log out."

Please feel free to add or modify pages -- even this one -- as you see fit. That's the idea of a Workspace.
