[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Repairing broken items together and sharing knowledge: that’s the essence of Repair Caf\u00e9. Next to this in-person repair movement there is an online movement on www.ifixit.com<\/a>: an international platform where fixers help each other fixing their broken stuff. Many Repair Caf\u00e9s already share their knowledge on iFixit. Here you can find out how this is beneficial for the global repair community and how your Repair Caf\u00e9 can contribute.<\/p>\n

Step-by-step guides<\/h2>\n

Repair Caf\u00e9 repairers will usually have a general idea about how to open or repair a device, but might not have worked with a specific model before. iFixit step-by-step guides<\/a> with detailed photos can help find specific connectors or workable solutions for devices that don\u2019t appear on the repair table every week. They can also serve as a good reference for first-time repairers. Having some tablets handy, with the iFixit website opened up, can be extremely useful at in-person repair events.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Repair Caf\u00e9 visitors and volunteers come across both regular and rare fixes during their meetings. Sharing the knowledge they gain about a device online can teach many more people how to repair their broken device.<\/p>\n

Taking pictures is always a good idea<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a good idea to photograph certain steps of a repair anyway, to track your path inside, locate screws, and the like. From there, creating a new repair guide<\/a> on iFixit is easy!<\/p>\n

A newly published repair guide doesn\u2019t need to be perfect. Don\u2019t hesitate to enter what you know, share the pictures you took, and leave the rest to the wisdom of the crowd, who will collaborate on making it better over time. This Wikipedia-style principle, where knowledge is created and shared collectively, is exactly what makes the iFixit platform so similar to the Repair Caf\u00e9 experience!<\/p>\n

Your Repair Caf\u00e9 as a team on iFixit<\/h2>\n

Repair Caf\u00e9s can create their own team on iFixit. You\u2019ll gain reputation points<\/a> for posting guides and completing fixes, unlocking rights and privileges and giving people a sense of the trustworthiness of your information.<\/p>\n

Numerous Repair Caf\u00e9s already use this option. You can find out if your local group is already represented here<\/a>. If not, don\u2019t hesitate to create a new team<\/a> and invite your fellow fixers. Members can also see the unpublished guides and wikis of their teammates and collaborate to publish them.<\/p>\n

Do you want to join? Then create your account at iFixit<\/a> and contribute to the platform![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
