I have registered on said page but when I click to my projects it goes to wiki.laptop.org and all I can see an empty page. Are those people over viewing my application will decide by using that empty page? Since I cannot see any change tracking feature on the wiki, I am not sure how could people track/discuss new projects either.
One of the textboxes is not too clear to me on the new project page. 1. Description of your experience, both with hardware and software. - Am I supposed to write about my work experience regarding the new project? Why shall I define it again if I already did it on my registration form? Or is it about something else? (I am not a native speaker.)
