Categories are a basic organizing element for this wiki. Click on a category below to see a list of sub-categories and pages. For example, the category Courses has sub-categories for CS1, CS2, etc, and contains pages for actual courses involving HFOSS.
Set categories are usually plural and contain pages about members of the set; thus, Category:Courses contains pages for specific Courses. Topic categories are usually singular and contain pages related to the topic; thus, Category:Git contains pages related to Git.
