KSU iPad Users wiki now open to the public

The KSU iPad Users wiki was started last November as a way to share information brought up in the monthly meetings. Users previously had to request access and log in with a user ID and password. This was confusing and an extra step to many, so it has now been made public.

The wiki can be seen at ksuipadusers.pbworks.com. If you would like to edit or contribute, you will have to request access and log in.
