(Note: See Wiki Administration#Wiki Administrators - which is a different group than the Core Team - for an up-to-the-second list of RepRap wiki sysops, and also some tips on how you can help us build a more excellent wiki).


We try to keep RepRap as open as possible - anyone can create a wiki page describing their design for an improved extruder, or their software for loading into the machine's microcontroller. Anyone can edit such pages to extend and to improve them. Such people are you (Hello!), and you are both an engineering creator of RepRap and (through such edits) one of its administrators.

However, you can also see that publishing the superuser passwords for our servers would be taking openness a bit far.

The Core Team are reprappers who have racked up a bit of seniority and who both engineer RepRap machines and sort out administrative problems. Both these activities are equally important for the success of the project.

The Core Team - who we are
