What do people want to share, learn, build, repair or test?

These plain forms turn community offers, nominations and questions into small Markdown files. A file can become a noticeboard post, workshop intake note, grant evidence, tool-sharing record, mentorship lead or next-step conversation.

A workshop intake desk with a laptop, paper forms, material tags, repair parts and organised storage in the background.

A clear front door for non-technical people.

The form pattern follows the shared-assets builder from the Straddie Content Assets Kit: fill in ordinary fields, review the Markdown, then copy or download a public-safe draft for a human to check.

What useful map appears when people can name what they can lend, teach, build, repair, test or help fund?

Public-safe reminder

These files should avoid private addresses, personal phone numbers, expensive tool storage locations, access codes, unsafe instructions and permission-sensitive details.

What records can these forms create?

Each record starts small. The value is in making needs, offers and limits visible enough for people to help responsibly.

Tool sharing

Who can lend or steward a tool, what training is needed, how it is checked out, and when sharing should pause.

Learning requests

What people want to learn, why it matters, and what a beginner-friendly first session could look like.

Contributor nominations

Who should be named for mentorship, grant evidence, workshop leadership, tool stewardship or public thanks once consent is clear.

Build ideas

What people want to make, what materials are already available, and what would make the first prototype useful.

Repair intake

What is broken, what is safe to inspect, what might become parts-only, and what needs specialist help.

Experiment prompts

Which material, tool, food, media, concrete, sand or energy question is ready for a bounded first test.

Material offers

What clean offcuts, containers, parts or surplus can be offered before disposal, with clear no-go rules.
