I have chosen for a wiki format as this format is a proven solution for knowledge mapping as it is the format behind Wikipedia. Although a database approach to this subject would be technically more sound in terms of redundancy, understanding the workings of the Wikipedia will lead to more relevant learning experience of students.

Table of Laptops
The table of the actual laptops will published on a separate wiki page.
Description of the columns:
- 'type' denotes the brand and type of the laptop and the order number of .
- 'member' - the color code of the group the device belongs to. The laptops who belong to the same group are stored in a box with the same color coding
- 'kernel' - the kernel version of the OS. SMP means a 32 bits kernel.the device
- 'state' - what is broken
- 'action' - what needs to be done.
- 'date' - entry date

Note: This effort is inspired by the discussion I had with Justa about the communication of the state of Techninc tools, member projects and inventory. The idea is to use a combination of color codes and index numbers. The colors express the state of the object. The number refers to a webpage on the wiki.
