Adding a new tool to the wiki? Follow this procedure.

We can always use new tools! Please feel free to contact Protospace to donate, arrange for pickup, or drop them off in person.

If you are interested in knowing what kind of tools we are looking for, we also have a member-managed tool wishlist, but your best bet on figuring out if we want something is simply asking on our discussion group.

We also have an alphabetically ordered and categorized tool catalog.


Treat the tools at Protospace with respect! Clean, functioning tools make for a happy crowd.
